class KMeansClusterer extends Clusterer with Error

The KMeansClusterer class cluster several vectors/points using k-means clustering. Randomly assign points to 'k' clusters (primary technique). Iteratively, reassign each point to the cluster containing the closest centroid. Stop when there are no changes to the clusters.
