Which of the following is a disadvantage of the K-means algorithm?
Correct Answer: Requires specifying number of clusters
- Step 1: Understand what K-means algorithm is. It is a method used to group data into clusters.
- Step 2: Know that when using K-means, you need to decide how many clusters (groups) you want to create before starting.
- Step 3: Realize that sometimes you may not know the best number of clusters to use for your data.
- Step 4: Recognize that this requirement to choose the number of clusters in advance can be a disadvantage of the K-means algorithm.
