Joshi1, P.S. Nalwade2 1 2 Department of Computer Science, SGGSIE&T, Nanded, India Department of Computer Science, SGGSIE&T, Nanded, India 1 [email protected]; 2 [email protected] Abstract— The k-means clustering algorithm is most popularly used in data mining for real world applications. The efficiency and performance of the kmeans algorithm is greatly affected by initial cluster centers as different initial cluster centers often lead to different clustering. In this paper, we propose a modified k-means algorithm which has additional steps for selecting better cluster centers. We compute Min and Max distance for every cluster and find high density objects for selection of better k.
