I'm working on k-means in MATLAB. Here are my codes:
load cobat.txt
k=input('Enter the number of cluster: ');
if k<8
[cidx ctrs]=kmeans(cobat, k, 'dist', 'sqEuclidean');
Z = [cobat cidx]
else
h=msgbox('Must be less than eight');
end
"cobat" is the file of mine and here it looks:
65 80 55
45 75 78
36 67 66
65 78 88
79 80 72
77 85 65
76 77 79
65 67 88
85 76 88
56 76 65
My problem is everytime I run the code, it always shows different result, different cluster. How can I keep the clustering result always the same?

%generate some initial cluster centers according to some deterministic algorithm
%in this case, I construct a space-diagonal equally spaced, but choose your
%own algorithm
minc = min(cobat, 1);
maxc = max(cobat, 1);
nsamp = size(cobat,1);
initialcenters = repmat(minc, nsamp, 1) + bsxfun(@times, (0:nsamp-1).', (maxc - minc) ./ (nsamp-1));
%Once you have constructed the initial centers, cluster using those centers
[cidx ctrs] = kmeans(cobat, k, 'dist', 'sqEuclidean', 'start', initialcenters);

please, matlab out an error on this line : "Error using +
Matrix dimensions must agree."
what can i do ??

K-means clustering uses randomness as part of the algorithm Try setting the seed of the random number generator before you start. If you have a relatively new version of MATLAB, you can do this with the rng() command. Put
rng(1)
at the beginning of your code.

Thank you for the answer. I have MATLAB 7.11.0(R2010b), and when I tried that command, it's not working, getting an error for undefined function. Do you have any idea to solve this?

Hi,
I have a question about rng(). If we use rng() command, K-means algortihm stil repeats until the results are getting convergenced to the best. Is that right?
Thank you

Yes.
rng(SomeParticularNumericSeed)
just ensures that it will always use the same random number sequence provided that no other random numbers are asked for between the rng() call and the kmeans call.
