K Means Stata. K means is implemented in many statistical software programs. The data object on which to perform clustering is declared in x.
K means clustering means that you start from pre defined clusters. Segments specifies that k nearly equal partitions be formed from the data. K means is implemented in many statistical software programs.
Stata has implemented two partition methods kmeans and kmedians.
When the num ber of clusters is unknown several k means solutions with different numbers of groups k. K means x centers iter max 10 nstart 1. Segments specifies that k nearly equal partitions be formed from the data. Approximately the first n k observations are assigned to the first group the second n k observations are assigned to the second group and so on.
