K-Means Clustering | K-Means++ Clustering | Cluster Analysis | Data Science

In this video are introducing the most popular clustering algorithm i.e. K-Means clustering. We'll guide you through the iterative process that K-Means employs. You'll discover how the algorithm calculates distances between data points and cluster centers, fine-tuning assignments until the clusters stabilize into optimal arrangements.

Yet, as with any tool, K-Means has its own limitations. Outliers, those unusual data points that deviate from the norm, can disrupt the clustering results. We'll discuss how outliers affect the process and discuss strategies to minimize their impact.

Another challenge arises from the initial randomness of cluster placement. We'll shed light on how K-Means' sensitivity to starting points can lead to variations in results. Fear not! We'll also provide a solution: K-Means++. This approach optimizes initial centroids for more reliable and accurate clusters.

Happy Learning!
