    <p>I'm working with k-means in MATLAB GUI. I have done with it. The program (GUI) works quite fine (in command window, it works perfectly). I don't know, sometimes the GUI is working, but sometimes the error appears suddenly. Here is the error message:</p> <pre><code>??? Error while evaluating uicontrol Callback ??? Error using ==&gt; kmeans&gt;batchUpdate at 436 Empty cluster created at iteration 1. Error in ==&gt; kmeans at 337 converged = batchUpdate(); Error in ==&gt; CalcRand at 4 [g c] = kmeans(data,k,'dist','SqEuclidean'); Error in ==&gt; kmeansFIN2&gt;Centroid_Callback at 203 [g,c,y,clr]=CalcRand( data,k ); Error in ==&gt; gui_mainfcn at 96 feval(varargin{:}); Error in ==&gt; kmeansFIN2 at 42 gui_mainfcn(gui_State, varargin{:}); Error in ==&gt; @(hObject,eventdata)kmeansFIN2('Centroid_Callback',hObject,eventdata,guidata(hObject)) ??? Error while evaluating uicontrol Callback </code></pre> <p>A little explanation: My GUI has 4 push buttons, they are Cluster, Show Centroid, Show the Graphic, Evaluate the Graphic. I could give my code here, but it is too long, so I just give a hint of my codes:</p> <pre><code>% CLUSTER (PUSH BUTTON) [g c] = kmeans(cobat,k,'dist','SqEuclidean'); y = [cobat g] % SHOW CENTROID (PUSH BUTTON) c % EVALUATE THE CLUSTER [s,h]=silhouette(cobat,g,'SqEuclidean'); % SHOW THE GRAPHIC %# show points and clusters (color-coded) clr = lines(k); figure, hold on scatter3(cobat(:,1), cobat(:,2), cobat(:,3), 36, clr(g,:), 'Marker','.') scatter3(c(:,1), c(:,2), c(:,3), 100, clr, 'Marker','o', 'LineWidth',3) hold off view(3), axis vis3d, box on, rotate3d on xlabel('x'), ylabel('y'), zlabel('z') </code></pre> <p>According to the error, someone said that, "It is possible for a cluster to "lose" all of its members during the initial phase of clustering; that's just how the K-Means algorithm works. The usual reason why this happens is a bad choice of starting cluster centroids. The 'EmptyAction' parameter controls what steps are taken if it does happen, and the default is to error out." Is it right? Can someone explain me with trusted sources? And is there way to stay away from this error?</p> <p>Thank you.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
