Hi all,
Could you help me how can I get kmeans function documents(i.e.papers),because I need the steps of the kmeans algorithm and for using these papers as references in my thesis.
Thank you very much

Thank you very much,I need the steps of the algorithm to be mentioned also.
Then you need to get that book and that paper. Please accept an answer if it helped you.
You could also look at the source code and see what the function actually does:
edit kmeans
Sure, I'll accept your excellent answer, could you provide me that book and that paper please?

No, I can't. They are both books actually. So there are probably copyright restrictions. I suggest you try a library or google to see if they are available online.
O.K.I need at least the steps of the algorithm only now,thank you in advance
For that, look at the source code for kmeans.
Thank you.
My pleasure.
