intial centriods for fuzzy k means algorithm
Hi,
I have sample set of few documents of each cluster(no of clusters known and also few documents in each cluster are known in advance). How to initialize the centriods with known documents, so that algorithm runs using the given data points as centriods in mahout ?

Clusters have a constructor that accepts a vector that you can use for this.

I checked the source code for usage of ClusterWritables to write centriods to a
sequence file i found out this
SequenceFile.Writer writer = new SequenceFile.Writer(fs, conf, path,
Text.class, ClusterWritable.class);
ClusterWritable clusterWritable = new ClusterWritable();
clusterWritable.setValue(canopy);
writer.append(new Text(canopy.getIdentifier()), clusterWritable);
heresetValue expects Cluster, what is the way i can convert a raw
vector(SequentialAccessSparseVector) to Cluster type ?

If you don't specify a -k value but specify a -ci directory that
contains clusters you want to use for the prior then the ClusterIterator
will use them for kmeans and fuzzyk. You will need to create one or more
sequence files containing ClusterWritables to do this.

my question was more like how can i generate new centriods based on the predefined points i give, as in my case i know the number of clusters and also few points in each of the cluster.

you could use canopy clustering from mahout to initialize centroids.
Thanks
