In K-means, the data set is split into K (a given number) subsets in such a way that each subset is maximally compact, as measured by the intra-subset variance.

The systematic arranging of properties, persons or business operations into groups or categories according to certain criteria. The purposes of such classification in insurance are to create bases for establishing statistical experience and determining rates, and to avoid unfair discrimination. The essential concept of establishing classifications is that each risk should bear its fair share of the overall cost of expenses and loses in relation to its own relevant expenses and hazards. It is unfair discrimination to charge different rates for similar risks,and it is equally wrong to treat in the same manner risks which have differenct costs and expenses.
The assignment of attributes and other defining meta-data to manage objects and information maintained by a cPDm solution. The meta-data may include definitions of classification tables or hierarchies that define relationships between various classes of objects.

See Part Classification and Group Technology.

In either case, a searcher can understand more about the content of the page when they know the category. Some classification products will attempt to classify data automatically, while others assist human catalogers. Search Tools 01

Classification refers to the systematic grouping of like things or objects into classes or categories according to some shared quality or characteristic. The term “classification” can refer either to the process of defining the categories and structure of a classification scheme or to the process of assigning documents to their appropriate categories. For example, developing the categories and structure for an intranet taxonomy is one kind of classification. The assigning of a Dewey Decimal code to a book, based on the mapping of its content into the Dewey Decimal system is another form of classification. The term “categorization” is often used by vendors of automatic categorization tools to describe the classification of an item of content according to a taxonomy.
the process of assigning the pixels of a continuous raster image to discrete categories.
When image pixels are the same colour, or nearly the same colour, an image "classification" computer program can recognize this and group such pixels together. Such a grouping is called a "class" and the process of doing the grouping is called "classification". The remote sensing researcher then has the challenge of identifying just what each "class" represents in the real environment (pine trees? pavement? shallow water? dry grass?). (Related word: classes)
