  2. k-means clustering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-means_clustering

    k-means clustering is a method of vector quantization, originally from signal processing, that aims to partition n observations into k clusters in which each observation belongs to the cluster with the nearest mean (cluster centers or cluster centroid), serving as a prototype of the cluster.

  3. Determining the number of clusters in a data set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Determining_the_number_of...

    The average silhouette of the data is another useful criterion for assessing the natural number of clusters. The silhouette of a data instance is a measure of how closely it is matched to data within its cluster and how loosely it is matched to data of the neighboring cluster, i.e., the cluster whose average distance from the datum is lowest. [8]

  4. k-means++ - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-means++

    In data mining, k-means++ [1] [2] is an algorithm for choosing the initial values (or "seeds") for the k-means clustering algorithm. It was proposed in 2007 by David Arthur and Sergei Vassilvitskii, as an approximation algorithm for the NP-hard k-means problem—a way of avoiding the sometimes poor clusterings found by the standard k-means algorithm.

  5. Automatic clustering algorithms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_Clustering...

    Automated selection of k in a K-means clustering algorithm, one of the most used centroid-based clustering algorithms, is still a major problem in machine learning. The most accepted solution to this problem is the elbow method .

  6. Cluster analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cluster_analysis

    Eventually, objects converge to local maxima of density. Similar to k-means clustering, these "density attractors" can serve as representatives for the data set, but mean-shift can detect arbitrary-shaped clusters similar to DBSCAN. Due to the expensive iterative procedure and density estimation, mean-shift is usually slower than DBSCAN or k-Means.

  7. Fuzzy clustering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuzzy_clustering

    Fuzzy clustering (also referred to as soft clustering or soft k-means) is a form of clustering in which each data point can belong to more than one cluster.. Clustering or cluster analysis involves assigning data points to clusters such that items in the same cluster are as similar as possible, while items belonging to different clusters are as dissimilar as possible.

  8. Model-based clustering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model-based_clustering

    Several of these models correspond to well-known heuristic clustering methods. For example, k-means clustering is equivalent to estimation of the EII clustering model using the classification EM algorithm. [8] The Bayesian information criterion (BIC) can be used to choose the best clustering model as well as the number of clusters. It can also ...

  9. Machine learning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_learning

    Data compression aims to reduce the size of data files, enhancing storage efficiency and speeding up data transmission. K-means clustering, an unsupervised machine learning algorithm, is employed to partition a dataset into a specified number of clusters, k, each represented by the centroid of its points. This process condenses extensive ...
