I want to make 4 clusters using k mean clustering and for each of the 4 clusters i want to set centroid initially and then accordingly make the cluster. how can I.

numclusters = 4;
Initial = numeric matrix that is numclusters x number of columns in YourData
[idx, C] = kmeans(YourData, numclusters, 'Start', initial);

@Walter Roberson

Guess @Maimoona Asad wants to 'estimate' 4 centroids for the given set of data, probably because she does not have a clear idea how many clusters there should be.

The centroid estimations are intended to indicate the mean locations of the clusters, even though this initial guess for the cluster centers may be inaccurate.

With the initial cluster centers, then she can apply the k-means clustering technique as you suggested.
