Windows 10 Pro > JMP17.2 > CLUSTER VARIABLE ALGORITHM?

[#1]

Hi JMP Community,

Do you know which algorithm the CLUSTER VARIABLES  platform uses?

I cannot find it in the forum, the JMP documentation, or the web in general.

Any clues would be welcome.

Thank you.

Best,

TS

Usually you can find that type of information from JMP Help and Statistical Details section for the platform (sometimes you have to go through all the pages for platform and try to find that single source link hidden somewhere). And I think in this case these might be correct?

The algorithm was developed by SAS and is implemented in PROC VARCLUS (SAS Institute Inc. 2022g).
