Question

Suppose you run K-means clustering algorithm on a given dataset. What are the factors on which the final clusters depend on ?
I. The value of K
II. The initial cluster seeds chosen
III. The distance function used.
A) I only
B) II only
C) I and II only
D) I, II and III

Answer 1

Hi there,

If you run K-means clustering algorithm a dataset. The factors of final cluster will depends on the value of K, The initial cluster seeds chosen and the distance of function used.

So from given options your K-means clustering will run on factors as option D which is 1,2 and 3. Thank you.

Answer 2

When we run K-means clustering algorithm on a given dataset, the factors on which the final clusters depend are the value of K, the initial cluster seeds chosen and the distance function used.

Thus the correct option from the ones given in the question is ( D ) 1, 2 & 3.
