- - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### KMeansPlusPlusClusterer

          public KMeansPlusPlusClusterer(Random random)

      Deprecated.
      Build a clusterer.

      The default strategy for handling empty clusters that may appear during algorithm iterations is to split the cluster with largest distance variance.

      Parameters:
        `random` - random generator to use for choosing initial centers

    - #### KMeansPlusPlusClusterer

          public KMeansPlusPlusClusterer(Random random,
                                 KMeansPlusPlusClusterer.EmptyClusterStrategy emptyStrategy)

      Deprecated.
      Build a clusterer.
      Parameters:
        `random` - random generator to use for choosing initial centers
        `emptyStrategy` - strategy to use for handling empty clusters that may appear during algorithm iterations
      Since:
        2.2

    - #### cluster

          public List<Cluster<T>> cluster(Collection<T> points,
                                 int k,
                                 int numTrials,
                                 int maxIterationsPerTrial)
                                                          throws MathIllegalArgumentException,
                                                                 ConvergenceException

      Deprecated.
      Runs the K-means++ clustering algorithm.
      Parameters:
        `points` - the points to cluster
        `k` - the number of clusters to split the data into
        `numTrials` - number of trial runs
        `maxIterationsPerTrial` - the maximum number of iterations to run the algorithm for at each trial run. If negative, no maximum will be used
      Returns:
        a list of clusters containing the points
      Throws:
        `MathIllegalArgumentException` - if the data points are null or the number of clusters is larger than the number of data points
        `ConvergenceException` - if an empty cluster is encountered and the `emptyStrategy` is set to `ERROR`
