geokmeans - A Collection of Fast, Exact and Eco-Friendly k-Means Clustering
Algorithms
A collection of fast k-means clustering algorithms under a
single, uniform interface. The core method is
Geometric-k-means, a bound-free algorithm of Sharma et al.
(2026) <doi:10.1007/s10994-025-06891-1> that uses geometry to
restrict computation to the data points able to change
clusters, substantially reducing distance computations and
runtime while returning the same result as standard k-means.
Also included are Lloyd's algorithm, Elkan, Hamerly, Annulus,
Exponion, and Ball k-means. All algorithms are implemented in
'C++' via 'Rcpp' and 'RcppEigen' and return the final
centroids, optional per-point cluster assignments, and
computational statistics.
