Struggling with mahout commands

["Allen, Ronald L." <al...@ornl.gov>]

Hello,

I have installed Mahout 0.8.  I have tried going through the examples at http://mahout.apache.org/users/clustering/clustering-of-synthetic-control-data.html but I cant seem to get very far.  For example, when trying to do fuzzy k-means clustering, which options are required?  Also, how do I get the synthetic_control.data file into a SequenceFile?  The directions are from 2011.  Is there a more up to date tutorial anywhere?  I can't seem to find a good one.

Thanks in advance for any help!!
Ronnie
