摘要
One of the most widely used clustering techniques is the k-means algorithm. Solutions obtained from this technique are dependent on the initialisation of cluster centres. In this article, two initialisation methods are developed. These methods are particularly suited to problems involving very large data sets. The methods have been applied to different data sets and good results are obtained.
