This guide delves into the K-means clustering algorithm, outlining its essential steps, including random initialization of cluster centers, label reassignment based on proximity, and recomputation of centers based on new labels. Key processes ensure that centers are initialized at random sample locations, leading to efficient clustering. It also explores alternative initialization methods, such as starting centers at random locations within defined bounds or using evenly distributed points, enhancing the algorithm's effectiveness. Follow these steps to understand how K-means converges to optimal clusters.
