An Entropy-Based Initialization Method Of K-Means Clustering On The Optimal Number Of Clusters |
Abstract | ||
|---|---|---|
Clustering is an unsupervised learning approach used to group similar features using specific mathematical criteria. This mathematical criterion is known as the objective function. Any clustering is done depending on some objective function.K-means is one of the widely used partitional clustering algorithms whose performance depends on the initial point and the value of K. In this paper, we have combined both these parameters. We have defined an entropy-based objective function for the initialization process, which is better than other existing initialization methods of K-means clustering. Here, we have also designed an algorithm to calculate the correct number of clusters of datasets using some cluster validity indexes. In this paper, the entropy-based initialization algorithm has been proposed and applied to different 2D and 3D data sets. The comparison with other existing initialization methods has been represented in this paper. |
