Hello,

I am trying to do clustering, KMEANS, with SPLUS, but after 2 
hours reading the documentation and helpfiles I still cannot figure 
it out (I just learn clustering ...). I checked-out SPSS and SYSSTAT 
and it took me 10 minutes to get the concept and apply it to my data. 
However, how could I do the same thing with my data now in SPLUS?

raw data: 18 columns (14 cols are continous data, 4 cols are 
factorial), with 1034 cases/rows. Apparently, I do not understand how 
to create the similarity matrix, centres and how to bring it into 
KMEANS. When I use HCLUST, DIASY or KMEANS I get an error message 
about object size etc. 
Any help would be appreciated.

Regards

     Falk
