Mingzhe Xu and Junhui Gao

Abstract—In this paper, we use k-means, a basic type of clustering analysis, to analyze the data downloaded from the official site of NBA. We analyze the relevance between the number of clusters a team has and its winning percentage, the correlation coefficient is not high. However, we find that when the assuming number of clusters is ten, the relevance between the research items is the highest.

Index Terms—NBA, clustering analysis, correlation, statistics, winning percentage.
