A collection of macros to compute various internal clustering criterions: "Clustering criterions" on my page http://www.spsstools.net/KO-spssmacros.htm.

Hello,

My question is about the selection of the optimal cluster solution. I have
used SPSS version 21.0 to perform a cluster analysis in which the cluster
means from a hierarchical cluster analysis using Ward’s method and squared
euclidian distance are used as starting points in a k-means cluster
analysis. 

Several cluster solutions (2-, 3-, 4- and 5-clustersolutions) have been
established in this manner. 

Has anyone guidance (and SPSS syntax) concerning the use of fit indices such
as  explained variance/eta-squared/adjusted-R squared; Calinski Harabasz
Index, and the Akaike Information Criterion to determine the optimal cluster
solution?

Thank you for your help in advance.
