Hello,
 
I have a data-set containing  22 variables, after appropriate transformations etc I  ran  a kmeans cluster analysis for 4 clusters , I ran it 20 times to find a result with the lowest within sum of squares. 
 
My question is how best do I go about finding out what the characteristics are of each cluster?  
Is one cluster dominated by a particular set of variables or by a particular variable? 

The only way I know is to to look at the means for each variable for each cluster, but as there are 22 variables this is time consuming.
 
Is there a way to graphically represent the clusters in relation to the variables...if so I might need some guidance on the coding as I am new to the R environment.
 
Any advice and direction would be gratefully received.

best wishes,
 
Nataniel Grey
