hierarchical cluster analysis: how specify minimum cases per cluster?

  • 1.  hierarchical cluster analysis: how specify minimum cases per cluster?

    Posted Wed May 19, 2021 04:23 PM
    Greetings - I've used SPSS extensively but am a newbie to cluster analysis. I'm following, for my dataset, an established methodology that used hierarchical cluster analysis, *and* that supposedly established a minimum number of cases for each cluster. (If I don't do this for mine, the vast majority of my cases fall into one cluster.)

    I don't know how to include some minimum number of cases in hierarchical clustering-or whether to adopt a different clustering method; any guidance please?

    Sure appreciate,

    Jim P.
