Research Type Theoretical In this work we first provide a new, simple analysis of k-means|| , thus simplifying known proofs (Bahmani et al., 2012) and (Bachem et al., 2017). In particular, if we denote by µX the mean of X and ϕ the optimal solution, we prove in Section 3 that O(log ϕX(µX) /ϕ ) rounds of the k-means|| algorithm suffice to get expected constant approximation guarantee.
