15.6.1.3.3 Clustering Population Summary Report

This report presents information regarding the content of
each cluster, including the number of both normal and
outlying observations, the statistical summary of each
cluster feature, and the usage summary of each of the
reporting element.

The report is normally used to better understand how the
sample data is distributed among the clusters, how each
cluster is actually functioning, and what data values are
represented by each cluster.

If Sparse Clusters are not included, then a separate report
is produced at the bottom depicting those clusters that were
excluded and their respective populations.

Figure 15-27.  Clustering Population Summary report
There are several points to be made concerning the Population
Summary.

Cluster 1 contains 14 cases within a radius of 0. This is a
special case that can occur when a small number of nearly
identical observations reside together.  Notice that while
these 14 cases represent only 0.7% of the sample, they
account for over 61% of TCB time and nearly 65% of all DASD
EXCPs.  Clearly, while these are exceptional cases, they must
be appropriately addressed for any job class structure to be
considered successful.

Cluster 9 contains the majority of the batch work under
study, and represents 92% of the cases in the sample.  The
average TCB time for jobs represented in the cluster is 3
seconds, with a maximum TCB time of 41 seconds being
observed, and no tape devices utilized. Clearly, an
installation could define a single job class with several
initiators and ensure excellent service for such jobs.

Cluster 11 represents jobs again requiring no tape devices,
but using more TCB time.  Such jobs could be treated in a
manner similar to those represented in cluster 9, but fewer
initiators would be required.  An alternative might be to use
the same job class that was used for jobs contained in
cluster 9, but adjust the WLM Service class definitions to
reduce service for these jobs.  A review the service
requirements should be made before making a final decision.

The remaining clusters, 13 & 14 represent tape jobs that have
heavier processor requirements. The classes and number of
initiators assigned depend on tape drive availability and
service requirements.

The above report section simply presents those clusters that
were "sparse" in population.  An optional report on these
clusters can be generated, but was not in this particular
study.
