Arpita Agrawal, Hitesh Gupta . Global K-Means (GKM) Clustering Algorithm: A Survey. International Journal of Computer Applications. 79, 2 ( October 2013), 20-24. DOI=10.5120/13713-1472
K-means clustering is a popular clustering algorithm but is having some problems as initial conditions and it will fuse in local minima. A method was proposed to overcome this problem known as Global K-Means clustering algorithm (GKM). This algorithm has excellent skill to reduce the computational load without significantly affecting the solution quality. We studied GKM and its variants and presents a survey with critical analysis. We also proposed a new concept of Faster Global K-means algorithms for Streamed Data sets (FGKM-SD). FGKM-SD improves the efficiency of clustering and will take low time & storage space.
