An Initial Point Selection Algorithm for K-Means Clustering

Article Preview

Abstract:

Aiming at the problem of K-Means algorithm which is sensitive to select initial clustering center, this paper proposes a kind of initial point of K-Means algorithm. The algorithm processes the properties of the data objects, which determines the density of data object by counting the number of similar data objects and selects the center of categories according to the density of data object. The cluster numbers given and the UCI standard sets of data and the random data sets used, the clustering results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm has good stability, accuracy.
