As a supermarket, we are committed to always improving everything, including selecting the greatest goods. To evaluate which items are more superior or popular and which are less popular, you will want a sizable amount of information sources. To select products and identify those that belong in the superior product cluster, researchers employed the clustering method. The clustering strategy uses two forms of cluster analysis, k-means and k-medoids, which have related techniques. The research results show that the k-means algorithm's Davies Bouldin value is -0.430, whereas the k-medoids algorithm's Davies Bouldin value is -1.392. This suggests that the Davies Bouldin value of the k-medoids approach is the lowest, showing that the grouping findings of the k-means method are  a better method to apply to the issue of choosing better products.
