The most common technique for clustering numeric data is called the k-means algorithm. Take a look at the data and graph in Figure 1. Each data tuple has two dimensions: a person's height (in inches) ...

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 ...

Agglomerative hierarchical clustering and K-means clustering algorithm. Also, we discuss how to choose the number of clusters and how to visualize the clustering solutions. R software will be used in ...

Industries from retail to finance are using clustering to personalize services, detect fraud, monitor equipment and improve ...

We define the concepts for the cluster/Spark parameters, and explain how to configure them given a specific set of resources. We use a K-Means machine learning algorithm as a case study to analyze and ...

The results look reasonable but many other clusterings are possible. The k-means clustering algorithm minimizes a metric called the within-cluster sum of squares, which will be explained shortly.
