How can I exclude outliers from a k-mean cluster?

3 views (last 30 days)
I have number of smaller data sets, containing 10 points each, I am using R2012a and k-means to obtain a centroid. In some of the clusters I can see some extreme points, beacuse my dataset are as small as they are, one outliner destroys the value of my centroid. Is there a way to exlude these points? Supposingly Matlab has a 'exclude outliers' function but I can't see it anywhere in the tool menu.. Thank you for your help! (and yes I am new to this:-)
