Hi Everyone,

 

This might be an overly simple question, but, the output of this simple clustering syntax doesn’t offer much information to determine how reliable these clusters are.  Any suggestions?

 

QUICK CLUSTER q21 q22 q23 q24 q25 q26 q27 q28 q29 q30 q31 q32 q33 q34

  /MISSING=PAIRWISE

  /CRITERIA=CLUSTER(3) MXITER(10) CONVERGE(0)

  /METHOD=KMEANS(NOUPDATE)

  /PRINT INITIAL.

 

Thanks,

Jeanne
