Extract cluster centroids and compare with other centroids?

Fred12

hi,

I want to do clustering with k-means e.g with k= 3...20 on 2 datasets, and I want to extract the centroids from those clusters and compare the centroids from dataset 1 with the centroids from dataset2.. (e.g. by the euclidean distance).. is there some way to do that? and if I compare centroids, how can I extract those 2 centroids from dataset1 and datatset 2 that are closest to eachother?

Fred,

 

check the attached Process. I think this is what you want?
