There are several algorithms to solve many problems in grouping data. Grouping data is also known as clusterization, clustering takes advantage to solve some problems especially in business. In this note, we will modify the clustering algorithm based on distance principle which background of K-means algorithm (Euclidean distance). Manhattan, Mahalanobis-Euclidean, and Chebyshev distance will be used to modify the K-means algorithm. We compare the clustered result related to their accuracy, we got Mahalanobis - Euclidean distance gives the best accuracy on our experiment data, and some results are also given in this note.
