Re: Delta between clusters? JMP PRO

Hi @Chitranshu,

 

Which clustering technique do you use ?

If I understand well your question, you can have access to cluster mean results of the X variables used in the clustering.

  • Example with Hierarchical clustering (click on red triangle, "Cluster Summary" to display the summary) on Big Class dataset with 5 clusters:

  • Example with K-Means on Big Class dataset with 2 clusters:

  • Same display for Normal Mixtures :

So you can use these information to calculate the mean distances for each X variables between the 2 clusters you have.

Hope I get your question right,
