RE: Update

[Andy King]

Thanks very much Alan - this is great news and hugely appreciated.

I am not yet super proficient with PSPP but I will have a look at this very soon and try to run it on my dataset - I may come back to you (if you don't mind) for a little guidance if I have trouble finding the right commands.

Please let me know if this patch gets added - do I need to wait for this before trailing this function?

Andy

Andy,

I just installed the Windows PSPP dated November 16 2015 and it seems to have the change that prints cluster membership.

JOHN: My edit to the manual has a typo: the option to print cluster membership should be CLUSTER (singular).  What's the easiest way to trim off the 'S'? I have a patch (attached) against pspp-0.9.0-g072d1b/doc/statistics.lexi and I've verified that SPSS uses CLUSTER without an 'S':

QUICK CLUSTER x y
  /MISSING=LISTWISE
  /CRITERIA=CLUSTER(2) MXITER(10) CONVERGE(0)
  /METHOD=KMEANS(NOUPDATE)
  /PRINT INITIAL CLUSTER DISTAN.

Hi Alan/John,

Hope both of you are well.  I am just wondering if there is any progress with this PSPP clustering functionality please?

Many thanks,
