Hello
You can group your datapoints by their cluster indices after using the “clusterdata” function. Here, I assume that your data is in the form of a matrix (in this case 30-by-5). After using “clusterdata”, you can create a cell array and store all the datapoints that correspond to that cluster index using logical indices. Below is sample implementation that may help you:
data = rand(30,5); % placeholder data
numClusters = 3; % you may change this value
clusterIndices = clusterdata(data,'Maxclust',numClusters);
clusteredData = cell(numClusters,1);
for k = 1:numClusters
clusteredData{k} = data(clusterIndices==k,:);
fprintf('Cluster %d:\n',k);
disp(clusteredData{k});
end
Here is the documentation link for “clusterdata” which has been used above:
