arXiv:2607.01945v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The classical $k$-means clustering cannot be directly used to incomplete data, and existing $k$-means-based clustering for missing data primarily focus on improving the practical accuracy of clustering, whereas most of them lack theoretical guarantees in the asymptotic sense. In this paper, we investigate the statistical properties of $k$-means clustering in the presence of missing data. We first establish the $\sqrt{n}$-excess risk bound and prove the consistency of the estimated cluster centers under general missing mechanisms. For the Missin
