Scenario Results Section

The Scenario Results section displays the following:

  • The Scenario Summary, which provides key cluster set attributes for the executed scenario as well as its status.

  • The Scenario Results, which has three tabs: Clusters, Cluster Composition, and Cluster Hierarchy.

The Summary section provides an overview of the characteristics of the clusters.

Table 4-18 Scenario Results Summary

Field Description

Status

Created, Ready for Approval, Completed with Errors, Approved, Rejected.

Optimal # of Clusters

The optimal number of clusters determined by the optimization.

Rank

The application compares executed scenarios and ranks them. A value of 1 indicates the best scenario.

Max./Min # of Clusters

The number you provided for the maximum and minimum number of clusters to calculated.

Largest/Smallest Cluster

Provides the sizes of the largest cluster and the smallest cluster in order to show the range of values.

Is System Preferred

Indicates whether or not the system prefers the scenario.

Is User Preferred

Indicates whether or not the user prefers the scenario.

The Clusters section provides the cluster results for each individual cluster in the scenario in either a Graph View or a Table View. The attributes displayed depend on the Cluster by option chosen in the Cluster Criteria stage.

The Graph View shows the percentage for each attribute in the cluster.

The Table View provides details that can help you analyze the cluster.

Table 4-19 Scenario Results - Clusters: Table View

Field Description

Name

The name you assigned to the cluster.

# of Stores

The number of stores in the cluster.

% of Total Stores

The percentage of the total stores that the number of stores represents.

Nearest Cluster Name

The name of the cluster that is most similar to this cluster.

Score %

This value is calculated at the level of store and then averaged to the cluster. The probability, expressed as a percentage, of a store being present in this cluster rather than any of the other clusters.

Has Outlier

Indicates a cluster with the number of stores below a threshold. For example, the number of stores are below certain percentage of the number of stores in a cluster.

Has Low Score

The score threshold can be defined in two ways. The default threshold is calculated as a probability that a store exists in any one of the clusters. The user can further override this threshold at the time of deployment by each Cluster by.

Attributes and their %

For each attribute specific to the Cluster by option, the value indicates the percentage that attribute represents within the total cluster.

The Clusters Composition sub-tab breaks down the cluster into its component parts and shows the percentages for each attribute.

The Table View, shown in Figure 4-24, shows attributes and the score percent.

Description of Figure 4-24 follows
Description of "Figure 4-24 Cluster Composition Table View"

The Graph View shows the centroid of a cluster and allows the user to compare each store with the cluster centroid.
