Samenvatting	Online K-means is a streaming variant of the classical K-means algorithm that updates cluster centroids one observation at a time — or in small mini-batches — without storing the entire dataset in memory. It is particularly suited to large-scale, real-time, or continuously arriving data where batch recomputation would be too slow or impractical.	Hierarchical clustering is an unsupervised method that groups observations into nested clusters and draws the result as a dendrogram, so the number of clusters need not be fixed in advance. Its agglomerative form rests on the objective-function grouping criterion introduced by Joe Ward in 1963.
