Before the cluster analysis I factor analysed Schwartz's 21 Human Values item, dropped cases with a response set and got a KMO of .89 for the factor analysis. The factors are close to the study hypotheses. Now I want to use the three factors community, ego, and order to create a typology and start with k=3 clusters. For this step I took a 10% sample of the initial more than 50,000 cases to reduce computation time. The three input factors are standardised before the clustering. All cases with missing data are excluded (listwise deletion). The result is incomprehensible to me. Where does the NaN result for one cluster may come from ? And the sizes of the 3 clusters are so different that there must be an error somewhere. Any ideas ?
