The K-Means Algorithm The k-means algorithm, sometimes called Lloyd's algorithm, is simple and elegant. The algorithm is illustrated in Figures 3-7. In pseudo-code, k-means is: initialize clustering ...

A key step in deploying clustering is deciding which algorithm to use. One of the most common is k-means, which works by computing the “distances” (i.e., similarity) between data points and ...

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 ...

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 ...

In the proposed algorithm, they extend the K-Means clustering process to calculate a weight for each dimension in each cluster and use the weight values to identify the subsets of important ...

By using K-Means clustering, an online retailer may identify that its client base naturally divides into three groups: budget-conscious shoppers, regular shoppers, and luxury shoppers.
