Clustering

[sarahwisneski]

I am doing a cluster analysis and I keep getting the error "Tool #27 Tool #6 Tool #41 No valid fields were selected. K-Centroids Cluster Analysis the R.exe exit code (1) indicated an error

I'm not sure what went wrong it is as I have checked to make sure there is variance in each of the columns already

Are all columns of the right type?  Any nulls or empty?

Hi @sarahwisneski 

The Most common cause is :

1) One of the fields selected has no statistical variance (all values are the same).

Solution :

1) Attach a field summary tool ( Data Investigation) to the data you are sending into the K-Centroids Cluster analysis tool & investigate the result to find any field with no variance.

Two of the columns ending up having a small variance compared to the other variables I was including in it, I ended up removing them and it worked!

Cool ! So if you find my solution useful , could you please mark it as the solution accepted.
