How a cluster algorithm works?..

Answer / Prabhat Ranjan

A cluster algorithm groups similar objects together based on some distance or similarity measure. The algorithm iteratively assigns each object to a cluster, minimizing the within-cluster variation and maximizing the between-cluster separation. Commonly used cluster algorithms include k-means, hierarchical clustering, and DBSCAN.
