Akanksha Choudhary, Prashant Sharma, Manoj K. Singh · 2016
K-means is still a popular clustering algorithm and active research area. The research is majorly focused at improving efficiency and effectiveness of the method. This paper proposes combined approach of a ranked initialization and normalization of data values with k-means. Three variations of a score based initialization approach is proposed. Experiments are performed on normalized data to prove the superiority of the proposed algorithm.
