Hi,
I have clustered a dataset with n=5008 using the kmeans clustering algorithm. One option for a visualization is the 3D biplot that uses 3 axes with the principal components. Unfortunately, I can not find a clear explanation where it comes from. My guess is, that simply the variables used for clustering are used for a principal component analysis, but i have no proof.
Thank you for your help!

I selected the "?" tool and clicked on the 3D biplot and the help screen for the K Means Clustering Report Options was displayed. Here is part of its verbage:
And as seen below the 3D Biplot is just an expansion on the 2D Biplot, so the 2D Biplot definition also describes the 3D Biplot
I hope this is helpful

Hi Jim,
thank you for your answer. I think I am on the right track. I'm still wondering about the definition. It says the "principal components of the data". It is not clear if the PCA ist based on the whole dataset and used in the visualization of the kmeans-clustering result or it is based in the variables used for clustering. I guess it is the latter case, It is not clearly stated though.
Thanks,
Seb
