Hi everyone, I wonder if there is a current development for “Variable Importance Clustering”,

Variable Importance Clustering

Hi everyone, I wonder if you might consider add a node to calculate the variable (predictor) importance in clustering, which can be a valuable input to explain cluster results. Such test is documented in an algorithm guide of a commercial software (link 50 MB). The definition of predictor importance according to the documentation is: “Predictor importance indicates how well the variable can differentiate different clusters. For both range (numeric) and discrete variables, the higher the import…
