How to use cluster based on specific attributes

User: "omark"

Greetings, everyone

I'm trying to use k-means to cluster and i'm only interested in a couple of attributes to do my clustering with. Problem is, i don't want to use select attributes because i don't want to get rid of the attributes i'm not interested in clustering with because I'll be needing them for illustrative purposes and for later use. Can someone clarify how to use k-means to cluster data based on specific attributes or features while also keeping other features in the dataset that won't be used for clustering. thanks.

    Hi @omark,

    You can use the Set Role operator and set a special role to the attribute(s) you don't need, for example id, id_2,id_3 etc. . This way, the 
    attributes with the special roles are not taken into account  for the clustering.
    In attached file, the process to help you :
