Abstract:Objectives: This study aims to speed up the K-means algorithm by offering a deterministic quartile-based seeding strategy for initializing preliminary cluster centers for the K-means algorithm, enabling it to efficiently build high-quality clusters. Methods: We have investigated various cluster center initialization approaches in literature and presented our findings. For the Kmeans algorithm, we here propose a novel deterministic technique based on quartiles for finding initial cluster centers. To obtain the … Show more
