When using the k-means clustering algorithm, and in fact almost all clustering algorithms, the number of clusters, k, must be specified. Like many R functions, kmeans has a large number of optional ...

Then, you can use clustering results to custom tailor your marketing efforts. In this course, we will explore two popular clustering techniques: Agglomerative hierarchical clustering and K-means ...

A k-means-type algorithm is proposed for efficiently clustering data constrained to lie on the surface of a p-dimensional unit sphere, or data that are mean-zero-unit-variance standardized ...

The k-means algorithm is often used in clustering applications but its usage requires a complete data matrix. Missing data, however, are common in many applications. Mainstream approaches to ...

In this paper, the authors contain a partitional based algorithm for clustering high-dimensional objects in subspaces for iris gene dataset. In high dimensional data, clusters of objects often ...

Because of this, k-means clustering can yield different results on different runs of the algorithm — which isn’t ideal in mission-critical domains like finance.
