assess the performance of k-means adapted to supervised classification with k=10, 20, 30 in matlab

To assess the performance of k-means adapted to supervised classification with different values of k, you can use the following approach:

  1. Split your dataset into training and testing sets.
  2. For each value of k:
    1. Train the k-means model on the training set.
    2. For each instance in the testing set, predict the cluster it belongs to using the trained model.
    3. Assign the instance to the class that corresponds to the majority of instances in the same cluster.
    4. Compute the accuracy of the classifier on the testing set.
  3. Plot a graph that shows the accuracy of the classifier against the values of k.

Here's an example code that demonstrates this approach:

main.m
% Load your dataset and split it into training and testing sets
[data, labels] = load_dataset('data.csv');
[train_data, train_labels, test_data, test_labels] = split_dataset(data, labels, 0.8);

% Define a range of values for k
ks = [10, 20, 30];

% Train and evaluate k-means models for each value of k
accuracies = zeros(size(ks));
for i = 1:length(ks)
    % Train k-means model on the training set
    k = ks(i);
    [idx, centroids] = kmeans(train_data, k);

    % Predict the clusters for instances in the testing set
    predicted_clusters = kmeans(test_data, k, 'Start', centroids);

    % Assign instances to the majority class in their cluster
    predicted_labels = assign_labels(predicted_clusters, train_labels);

    % Compute the accuracy of the classifier
    accuracies(i) = sum(predicted_labels == test_labels) / length(test_labels);
end

% Plot the accuracy vs k graph
plot(ks, accuracies);
xlabel('k');
ylabel('Accuracy');

Note that load_dataset(), split_dataset(), and assign_labels() are helper functions that you need to define based on the format of your data.
