SPSS Community News

Jon K Peck
Two new extension commands have been posted to the SPSS Community website (www.ibm.com/developerworks/spssdevcentral) in the Extension Commands collection on the Downloads for SPSS Statistics page.

STATS DBSCAN does density-based clustering with noise handling.  STATS DBPRED uses the results from STATS DBSCAN to predict the clusters for new data.  Density-based clustering depends on a maximum distance parameter and a minimum cluster size in addition to the variables.  It bears a relationship to hierarchical clustering with certain parameter settings, but it is reported to be much faster.

These procedures require the R Essentials.
