Statistical FAQs

How does JMP pick the initial cluster seeds in K-Means Clustering?

JMP is using the same seed selection that FASTCLUS does, with METHOD=FULL on the intial seeding. Generally, this method starts at observation one and from that picks observations within the dataset that are far apart. Please see the first four paragraphs on the top of page 825 in the SAS/STAT Users Guide, Vol. 1, v6 for a detailed explanation.
