X-means clustering
Appearance
X-means clustering is a variation of k-means clustering, which refines cluster assignments by repeatedly attempting subdivision, and keeping the best resulting splits, until some criteria is reached.[1] The Bayesian information criterion is used to make the splitting decision.[2]
