In this article in the first part I will begin with an introduction to unsupervised learning methods, focusing on the K-Means clustering algorithm, which is achieved with the help of the Euclidian distance. In the second part we modified the K-Means algorithm, that is, it was achieved with the help of the Hellinger distance, after which the clustering time was compared and a parallel was made between the two algorithms (the K-Means algorithm achieved with the Euclidean distance and the K-Means algorithm achieved with Hellinger distance). As a result of the two algorithms I found that the number of groups is the same, and the number of iterations is different.
