Settings (Cluster Analysis)

The Settings tab allows you to show or suppress display of charts and tables that describe the segments, save a new field in the dataset that identifies the segment (cluster) for each record in the dataset, and specify how many segments to include in the cluster solution.

Display charts and tables. Displays tables and charts that describe the segments.

Segment Membership. Saves a new field (variable) that identifies the segment to which each record belongs.

• Field names must conform to IBM® SPSS® Statistics naming rules. See the topic Variable names for more information.
• The segment membership field name cannot duplicate a field name that already exists in the dataset. If you run this procedure more than once on the same dataset, you will need to specify a different name each time.
• Number of Segments. Controls how the number of segments is determined.
• Determine automatically. The procedure will automatically determine the "best" number of segments, up to the specified maximum.

Specify fixed. The procedure will produce the specified number of segments.
