Hi and thank you for this video,

Let's say the ward algorithm is completed and using the CCC criterion we find out that K=5. Since ward method acts by merging clusters (starting by assigning one cluster to each observation) then at some point there must have been k-clusters.
After K-1 repetitions of merging we are left we 1 cluster, at this point the ward algorithm has done its job and K-mean is initiated.

My question is: Does the K-mean algorithm to create the final number of K-clusters takes into accout the K clusters that were created K-1 repetitions before the end of the ward method or does is randomly chooses K observations as seeds for the final K clusters

Thank you
