Assign each vector/point to a random cluster.
Assign each vector/point to a random cluster. Primary technique for initiating the clustering.
Calculate the centroids based on current assignment of points to clusters.
Given a new point/vector y, determine which cluster it belongs to (i.
Given a new point/vector y, determine which cluster it belongs to (i.e., the cluster whose centroid it is closest to.

Iteratively recompute clusters until the assignment of points does not change, returning the final cluster assignment vector.

Get the name of the i-th cluster.

Randomly pick vectors/points to serve as the initial k centroids (cent).
Randomly pick vectors/points to serve as the initial k centroids (cent). Secondary technique for initiating the clustering.
Reassign each vector/point to the cluster with the closest centroid.
Reassign each vector/point to the cluster with the closest centroid. Indicate done, if no points changed clusters (for stopping rule).
Cluster several vectors/points using k-means clustering. Either (1) randomly assign points to k clusters or (2) randomly pick k points as initial centroids (technique (1) to work better and is the primary technique). Iteratively, reassign each point to the cluster containing the closest centroid. Stop when there are no changes to the clusters.
