Question
Suppose you have run k-means using k=2 and k=5. You find that the cost function J is
much higher for k=5 than k=2. What can you conclude?
The ideal number of clusters is k=2.
O b In the run with k=2, k-means got lucky. You should try re-running k-means with k=2
and different random initializations until it performs no better than with k=5.
O. In the run with k=5, k-means got stuck in a bad local minimum. You should try
re-running k-means with multiple random initializations.
Od.
This is mathematically impossible. There must be a bug in the code.
