Optimizing k in k-means clustering

Posted on Tue 06 October 2015 in blog • Tagged with R, data science, clustering

I want to get my hands dirty with clustering after seeing a great lecture at Stanford. Here I'm looking at k-means clustering, an algorithm to identify groups in multidimensional data.

I'm using a builtin dataset in R, "ruspini" Also, I found this site as a helpful template to start.
