The purpose of this computer experiment is to investigate the clustering process performed by the K-means algorithm. To provide insight into the experiment, we fix the number of clusters at K = 6, but vary the vertical separation between the two moons in Fig. 1.8. Specifically, the requirement is to do the following, using an unlabeled training sample of 1,000 data points picked randomly from the two regions of the double-moon pictured in Fig. 1.8:
