1 What is K-mean Clustering?
Clustering is a technique to find out the sub-groups in a group of given
data.Kmeans algorithm is an iterative algorithm that tries to partition
the dataset into Kpre-defined distinct non-overlapping subgroups (clusters)
where each data point belongs to only one group.

1.1 K-mean Algorithm:


• Specify number of clusters K.

• Initialize centroids by first shuffling the dataset and then randomly


selecting K data points for the centroids without replacement.

• Keep iterating until there is no change to the centroids. i.e assignment


of data points to clusters isn’t changing.

• Compute the sum of the squared distance between data points and all
centroid.

• Assign each data point to the closest cluster (centroid).

• Compute the centroid for the clusters by taking the average of the all
data points that belong to each cluster.

2.2 Pseudo code


• Read data from text files into arrays.

• Concatenate the above arrays into one array variable.

3
• Get the maximum and minimum value of the given points.

• Generate k random clustering points in the range from maximum and


minimum value measure in the above step.

• Get the distance of every data point in given data from every clustering
point.

• Compute the average distance and assign the clustering points to there
respective clusters with respect to the less distance as compare to oth-
ers.

• Plot these points and system pause for some seconds for visualization.

• Move the clustering points to there new position in there respective


clusters

• Measure the difference between the old and new positions of clustering
points

• Repeat the above process until the above difference is very much less
