K-means Clustering Method for the Analysis of Log Data

Abstract—Clustering analysis method is one of the main analytical methods in data mining; the method of clustering algorithm will influence the clustering results directly. This paper discusses the standard k-means clustering algorithm and analyzes the shortcomings of standard k-means algorithm. This paper also focuses on web usage mining to analyze the data for pattern recognition. With the help of k-means algorithm, pattern is identified.
