Helo there. I am using kmeans of base package to cluster my customers. As
the results of kmeans is dependent on the initial centroid, may I know:
1) how can we specify the centroid in the R function? (I don't want random
starting pt)
2) how to determine the optimal (if not, a good) centroid to start with? (I
am not after the fixed seed solution as it only ensure that the cluster is
the same at every run but not necessary a good cluster.)
Many Thanks.
