K-mean for Wine data set
显示 更早的评论
Hi,
I performed a K-mean algorithm command on the wine data set from UCI respiratory. This dataset contains chemical analysis of 178 wines, derived from three different cultivars. Wine type is based on 13 continuous features.
Here's the command load 'wine_data.txt';
[IDX,C,sumd,D] = kmeans(wine_data,3,... 'start','sample',... 'Replicates',100,... 'maxiter',1000, 'display','final');
The final Best total sum of distances is 2.37069e+06. This result is way far from the reported K-means solution from the literature, which is aournd 18,061. Is the K-mean solution of Matlab stuck in local minima? Please advice. Thanks.

Ganesh, what distance metric does the 'literature' use?
The kmeans default is 'sqEuclidean'. You have to make sure you are comparing the same metric. Try changing it to cityblock or any of the other options:

I would like to ask if you could post the Matlab code that you have used ? I would like to thank you in advance.

The large distance sum you report makes me think that you did not rescale the data. Variable 13 is in the thousands and will overwhelm the effect of the other variables. You will probably get better results if you rescale the variables separately (Z scoring for example).
