To avoid distortions caused by excessive outliers, it’s possible to use PAM algorithm, which is less sensitive to outliers. Alternative to k-means clustering A robust alternative to k-means is PAM, which is based on medoids. As discussed in the next chapter, the PAM clustering can be compu...
50 mins Partitional Clustering in R: The Essentials 901157410211267767664 776 SharesK-means clustering (MacQueen 1967) is one of the most commonly used unsupervised machine learning algorithm for partitioning a given data set into a set of k groups (i.e. k clusters), where k represents th...
Clustering algorithmssimilarity measuresK-meansperiodic attributesThe K-means algorithm is very popular in the machine learning community due to its inherent simplicity. However, in its basic form, it is not suitable for use in problems which contain periodic attributes, such as oscillator phase, ...
K-means clustering is an unsupervised learning algorithm used for data clustering, which groups unlabeled data points into groups or clusters. It is one of the most popular clustering methods used in machine learning. Unlike supervised learning, the training data that this algorithm uses is unlabeled...

Due to its simplicity, K-means clustering algorithm has been successfully used in many domains such as market segmentation, computer vision and astronomy. It is also used as a preprocessing step before many other alogirithms to find a starting configuration. For example, in computer graphics, the...
you pre-define a number of clusters and employ a simple algorithm to sort your data. That said, “simple” in the computing world doesn’t equate to simple in real life. This is actually anNP-hardproblem, so you’ll want to use software for K-means clustering. Some programs that will...
data points are clustered based on feature similarity. The K-means clustering algorithm is mostly used inagricultureto delineate the region of interest (ROI) by using geometrical distribution of the spectral features (Bishop, 2007). The spectral information of an agronomic image can be used for pa...
Finally, a K-means clustering algorithm was employed to cluster the factor scores of each OLP, thereby obtaining credit rating results. The empirical results indicate that the proposed machine learning–based credit rating method effectively provides early warnings of problem platforms, yielding more ...
The k-medoids algorithm requires the user to specify k, the number of clusters to be generated (like in k-means clustering). A useful approach to determine the optimal number of clusters is thesilhouettemethod, described in the next sections. ...
