Subject: algorithm used in k-mean clustering
Hi,
I have used the kmean fucntion in R to produce some results for my analysis.
I like to know the specific underlying algorithm used for the implementation
of the function kmean in R. I tried looking for some documents but could not
find any.
I obtained the kmean result for k ranging from 2 to 10. When i did this
initally it worked perfectly. When i tried running again i get the error
Error: empty cluster: try a better set of initial centers
and i have not changed anything in the code. And i get this error only for k
= 2 and 10.
does anyone know why it worked well intially and failed now?
