Y, Columns

The variables used for clustering observations.

Note: Normal Mixtures clustering supports only numeric columns.

Weight

A column whose numeric values assign a weight to each row in the analysis.

Freq

A column whose numeric values assign a frequency to each row in the analysis.

By

A column whose levels define separate analyses. For each level of the specified column, the corresponding rows are analyzed. The results are presented in separate reports. If more than one By variable is assigned, a separate analysis is produced for each possible combination of the levels of the By variables.

When you click OK, a Control Panel appears. See Model Based Clustering Control Panel.
