[jira] Created: (MAHOUT-141) Cluster Centroid improperly reported when no points associated w/ the cluster

Cluster Centroid improperly reported when no points associated w/ the cluster
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: MAHOUT-141
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAHOUT-141
             Project: Mahout
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Clustering
            Reporter: Grant Ingersoll
            Assignee: Grant Ingersoll


Per the discussion at http://www.lucidimagination.com/search/document/5d54bb4822354bee/kmeans_help#48571ce2f5014a1f, the Cluster class returns pointTotal as the centroid (center) of a Cluster with zero points, which is not correct.  It should return the Center as the centroid in this case.

[jira] Commented: (MAHOUT-141) Cluster Centroid improperly reported when no points associated w/ the cluster

Drew Farris commented on MAHOUT-141:
------------------------------------

For the case of computeCentriod() in the kmeans package it appears to be resolved. It doesn't appear to be a problem in the canopy, fuzzykmeans or meanshift packages either, but even if it were it should probably be treated as a separate issue.

Marking for 0.3 as it sounds like a small bug. Pinging this issue, still active?
