Fit indices of optimal cluster solution

Cluster solution AIC BIC CH S
Two clusters 1144.66 1273.91 24.58 .325a
Three clusters 1068.20 1262.06a 25.24 .313
Four clusters 1043.13 1301.62 24.95 .309

AIC Akaike Information Criterion, BIC Schwarz’s Bayesian Information Criterion, CH Calinski-Harabasz Index, and S Silhouettes

aOptimal fit according to this criterion. A better fit of the cluster solution to the data is indicated by higher CH and S scores, and lower AIC and BIC scores
