Finding Clusters of N Points Within X Distance using ArcGIS Desktop?


We have tried two methods of cluster analysis:




... but neither meets our specification which has these 3 parameters:



  • a Set of Point features

  • N points within a Cluster

  • X distance band to look in


For example "find me the points where each cluster has 10 points within 50 meters" or something to that effect.


ArcGIS 10 has the two tools I’ve linked above but neither seems to address the N points within a cluster part.


Can our requirements be met with other tools in ArcGIS? Is what I am calling cluster analysis known as a particular clustering type?


We did have a version of this in another application but I really wanted to use the tools within ArcGIS.
