I wil be giving this article a Review for possible GA status. As higher mathematics are not one of my strong suits (my last "high math" was trigonometry & analytic geometry ages ago...) this might take me a while but I promise I will finish. Shearonink (talk) 19:48, 1 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A thought

I am reading this through over and over and sort of/maybe/almost understand the subject. I do have a question though...in layman's terms, is there an explanation for what this algorithm is used for? I mean I understand it is used for clustering but what is the purpose of "clustering"? Shearonink (talk) 04:22, 3 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
