Varclut in python

[Scott]

Hi everyone,

We use SAS at work and there is a function in SAS that is called varclus. It uses PCA and treats the variables as dimensions and puts them into clusters. You can then choose a few variables to represent each cluster. This is very useful when modelling and you have 100 or so variables. Does python have a similar function to varclus for reducing variables into clusters?

Thanks
Scott
