K-Means Clustering

K-Means Clustering is an unsupervised machine learning algorithm that partitions a dataset into K distinct, non-overlapping clusters by assigning each data point to its nearest centroid.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does K-Means assign points to clusters?

By calculating the Euclidean distance between points and centroids, iteratively updating centroids to minimize the inertia (squared distances).

What is a challenge of K-Means clustering?

Selecting the optimal value of K (often resolved using the Elbow Method) and its sensitivity to initial centroid locations.
