                 Key: SPARK-6137

Will it be useful to implement G-Means clustering algorithm based on K-Means?
G-means is a powerful extension of k-means, which uses test of cluster data 
normality to decide if it necessary to split current cluster into new two. It's 
relative complexity (compared to k-Means) is O(K), where K is maximum number of 
clusters. 

The original paper is by Greg Hamerly and Charles Elkan from University of 
California:
[http://papers.nips.cc/paper/2526-learning-the-k-in-k-means.pdf]

I also have a small prototype of this algorithm written in R (if anyone is 
interested in it).
