Re: [R] kmeans() compared to PROC FASTCLUS

Since I posted last night I've been exploring the possibilities of how the two implementations could be different. The underlying algorithm appears to be slightly but I think the main difference between the two is how the initial seeds are chosen. In FASTCLUS I believe it's some sort of random

[R] kmeans() compared to PROC FASTCLUS

2010-12-02 Thread Andrew Agrimson
Hello all, I've been comparing results from kmeans() in R to PROC FASTCLUS in SAS and I'm getting drastically different results with a real life data set. Even with a simulated data set starting with the same seeds with very well seperated clusters the resulting cluster means are still different.
