In today’s data-driven world, we are constantly exposed to a vast amount of information. This information is stored in various information systems and is used for analysis and management purposes. One important approach to handle these data is through the process of clustering or categorization. Clustering algorithms are powerful tools used in data analysis and machine learning to group similar data points together based on their inherent characteristics. These algorithms aim to identify patterns and structures within a dataset, allowing for the discovery of hidden relationships and insights. By partitioning data into distinct clusters, clustering algorithms enable efficient data exploration, classification, and anomaly detection. In this study, we propose a novel centroid-based clustering algorithm, namely, the morphological accuracy clustering algorithm (MAC algorithm). The proposed algorithm uses a morphological accuracy measure to define the centroid of the cluster. The empirical results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm achieves a stable clustering outcome in fewer iterations compared to several existing centroid-based clustering algorithms. Additionally, the clusters generated by these existing algorithms are highly susceptible to the initial centroid selection made by the user.
