The document discusses various clustering algorithms including k-means clustering. It provides details on the k-means clustering algorithm, which involves: 1) Fixing the number of clusters k, 2) Providing an initial set of k cluster seeds, 3) Assigning units to the nearest seed based on a threshold, 4) Computing new seeds, and 5) Repeating steps 3-4 until no reclassification is needed. Diagrams demonstrate how the initial clusters are formed and cluster centers are calculated.

1. The number k of clusters isfixed
2. An initial set ofk “seeds” (aggregation centres) is provided 1.First k elements 2.Other seeds (randomly selected or explicitly defined) 3. Given a certain fixed threshold, all units are assigned to the nearest cluster seed 4. New seeds are computed 5. Go back to step 3 until no reclassification isnecessary
