Question: Use the k-means algorithm and Euclidean distance to cluster the following eight examples into three clusters: A1 = (26, 18), A2 = (20, 26), A3(14,

Use the k-means algorithm and Euclidean distance to cluster the following eight examples into three clusters:

A1 = (26, 18), A2 = (20, 26), A3(14, 20), A4(24, 20), A5(14, 30), A6(22, 18), A7(8, 18), A8(12, 14)

a. Suppose that the initial seeds (centres of each cluster) are A2, A3, and A8. Run the k-means algorithm for one epoch only. At the end of this epoch,
o show the new clusters (i.e., the examples belonging to each cluster);

o show the centres of the new clusters;

o draw a graph space with all eight points, and show the clusters after the first epoch and the new centroids.

b. Complete the process for other iterations. How many more iterations are needed for the algorithm to converge? Draw the final result of the remaining epochs.
