FILE Subcommand (QUICK CLUSTER command)

Use FILE to obtain initial cluster centers from an external IBM® SPSS® Statistics data file or currently open dataset. (DATASET DECLARE command).

• The only specification is the quoted file specification or dataset name.

Example

QUICK CLUSTER  A B C D
  /FILE='/data/init.sav'
  /CRITERIA = CLUSTER(3).

• In this example, the initial cluster centers are read from file init.sav. The file must contain cluster centers for the same four clustering variables specified (A, B, C, and D).
