SAP HANA PAL - K-Means Algorithm or How To Do Cust... - SAP Community-C

The document describes how to use the K-Means clustering algorithm in SAP HANA to segment customers into groups. It includes code to define table types to store the input customer data, cluster centers, and algorithm parameters. The code then generates a K-Means procedure and runs it, passing in sample customer data and settings for number of clusters, initialization method, distance metric, and maximum iterations.

After executing this code we should see a new procedure in the _SYS_AFL schema called PAL_KMEANS_TELCO

Run the K-Means Procedure

I generated the K-Means procedure so now I need to write the code that will execute it:
