The k-means algorithm is well known for its efficiency in clustering large data sets. However, working only on numeric values prohibits it from being used to cluster real world data containing categorical values. In this paper we present the Classification of diabetic's data set and the k-means algorithm to categorical domains. Before classify the data set preprocessing of data set is done to remove the noise in the data set. We use the missing value algorithm to replace the null values in the data set. This algorithm is also used to improve the classification rate and cluster the data set using two attributes namely plasma and pregnancy attribute.

Abstract


The k-means algorithm is well known for its efficiency in clustering large data sets. However, working only on numeric values prohibits it from being used to cluster real world data containing categorical values. In this paper we present the Classification of diabetic's data set and the k-means algorithm to categorical domains. Before classify the data set preprocessing of data set is done to remove the noise in the data set. We use the missing value algorithm to replace the null values in the data set. This algorithm is also used to improve the classification rate and cluster the data set using two attributes namely plasma and pregnancy attribute.
