چکیده
This contribution presents an application of principal component analysis (PCA) and K-means clustering as tools for data dimension reduction grouping multivariate, whole-rock lithogeochemical data. The study dataset consists 64 geochemical variables measurements spectrophotometric brightness determined from 181 dolomite marble samples, collected at various distance two contrasting types mineral deposits, 1) stratabound, marble- skarn-hosted Zn-Pb-Ag sulphide deposits 2) industrial deposits.

Principal Component Analysis and Effective K-Means Clustering
The widely adopted K-means clustering algorithm uses a sum of squared error objective function. A detailed analysis shows the close relationship between K-means clustering and principal component analysis (PCA) which is extensively utilized in unsupervised dimension reduction. We prove that the continuous solutions of the discrete K-means clustering membership indicators are the data projection...
