From Coarse to Fine and Weak to Strong: The Impact of Scale Granularity and Rating Strength on the Ability of K-Means to Recover True Cluster Structure

The current research is undertaken to understand the degree to which K-means clustering is resilient to coarse scales and skewed distributions. Two empirical studies are conducted to evaluate how scale granularity and non-normal distributions impact cluster solutions. In both studies, important cons...
