Mitchell 6.12 - a nice description of EM and k-means.

What You Should Know Afterward

You should know how to implement these methods, and what their relative advantages and disadvantages are.

  • Overview of clustering
  • Distance functions and similarity measures and their impact
  • K-means algorithms
  • How to chose k and what is the impact of large and small k's
  • EM
  • Differences between GM and K-means
