An improved overlapping k-means clustering method for medical applications

作者:

Highlights:

• The sensitivity of overlapping k-means algorithm to initialization is considered.

• The k-harmonic means method is effective for identifying initial cluster centroids.

• The proposed approach outperforms the original overlapping k-means algorithm.
