- In the Cluster columns table, add rows to the table and click in each row to select a column from the input schema.
In the Clustering Configuration area:
- From the Clustering Type list, select what algorithm you want to use to cluster the numerical data, Fuzzy K-means in this example.
- From the Distance Measure list, select the distance measure you want to use for clustering.
- In the Number of clusters field, enter 3.
- Leave the values in Max iterations and Convergence delta as they are.
