kmeansasnode properties
K-means is one of the most commonly used clustering
algorithms. It clusters data points into a predefined number of clusters. The K-Means-AS node in
SPSS Modeler is implemented in Spark. For more information about k-means algorithms, see Clustering.1
Note: The K-Means-AS node performs one-hot encoding automatically for categorical variables.
kmeansasnode Properties |
Values | Property description |
|---|---|---|
roleUse
|
string | Specify predefined to use predefined roles, or custom to
use custom field assignments. Default is predefined. |
autoModel
|
Boolean | Specify true to use the default name ($S-prediction) for
the new generated scoring field, or false to use a custom name. Default is
true. |
features
|
field | List of the field names for input when the roleUse property is set to
custom. |
name
|
string | The name of the new generated scoring field when the autoModel property is
set to false. |
clustersNum
|
integer | The number of clusters to create. Default is 5. |
initMode
|
string | The initialization algorithm. Possible values are k-means|| or
random. Default is k-means||. |
initSteps
|
integer | The number of initialization steps when initMode is set to
k-means||. Default is 2. |
