Difference between cluster centers and means
Multi tool use
$begingroup$
I'm new to the forum so will appreciate some help.
The following is the output of the cluster centers I got from a cluster model (kmeans - 6 clusters)
3.371069, 3.920354, 3.629747, 3.700000, 3.988506, 3.740385
However, after segmenting the data into the 6 clusters and taking the average of the data for each of the 6 clusters I get a different set of numbers than the above.
3.7, 3.6, 3.6, 3.8, 4.2, 3.3
My question is are cluster centers different than means?
Why am I getting different values?
Appreciate the response
