Overview (AIM command)

AIM provides graphical output to show the relative importance of categorical and scale variables to the formation of clusters of cases as indicated by the grouping variable.

Basic Specification

The basic specification is a grouping variable, a CATEGORICAL or CONTINUOUS subcommand, and a PLOT subcommand.

Subcommand Order

  • The grouping variable must be specified first.
  • Subcommands can be specified in any order.

Syntax Rules

  • All subcommands should be specified only once. If a subcommand is repeated, only the last specification will be used.

Limitations

The WEIGHT variable, if specified, is ignored by this procedure.
