Attribute Discretization: Using the “Clusters” Method

This article continues my exploration of attribute discretization, a capability in Analysis Services that allows us to group members of an attribute into a number of member groups. Our concentration here will be to get some exposure to the pre-defined “Clustered” discretization method, one of three such pre-defined methods supported by Analysis Services, through hands-on application of the method to a representative dimension attribute within our sample UDM.
