Abstract

The program centroid takes as input a set of variables and a grouping variable, which is designated groupvar. Groupvar indicates into which group each case falls. As output, it generates a set of group centroids, which are means of each variable in varlist, and a set of distances, which indicate how far each case is from each centroid.
