Unit 5: Clustering

Unit Notes

The objectives of this unit were to review the statistical concept of clustering, with a focus on K-means and agglomerative clustering, as well as evaluative standards for the same.

My takeaway was a better understanding of the logic that drives clustering analysis, as well as the pitfalls of industry-standard clustering techniques.

Exercise 1, Visualization 1: K-Means Clustering

Exercise 1, Visualization 2: K-Means Clustering

Exercise 2: Jaccard Coefficient Calculations

(Jack, Mary) = 0.33 | (Jack, Jim) = 0.67 | (Jim, Mary) = 0.75
