Hierarchical Clustering with Python and Scikit-Learn

  Hierarchical Clustering with Python and Scikit-Learn Hierarchical clustering is a type of unsupervised machine learning algorithm used to cluster unlabeled data points. Like K-means clustering, hierarchical clustering also groups together the data points with similar characteristics. In some cases the result of hierarchical and K-Means clustering can be similar. Before implementing hierarchical clustering using Scikit-Learn, let’s first understand …

How to do K-Means Clustering with Scikit-Learn in Python

How to do K-Means Clustering with Scikit-Learn in Python Introduction K-means clustering is one of the most widely used unsupervised machine learning algorithms that forms clusters of data based on the similarity between data instances. For this particular algorithm to work, the number of clusters has to be defined beforehand. The K in the K-means …

Data Analytics – TYPES OF CLUSTERING METHODS: OVERVIEW AND QUICK START R CODE

TYPES OF CLUSTERING METHODS: OVERVIEW AND QUICK START R CODE   Clustering methods are used to identify groups of similar objects in a multivariate data sets collected from fields such as marketing, bio-medical and geo-spatial. They are different types of clustering methods, including: Partitioning methods Hierarchical clustering Fuzzy clustering Density-based clustering Model-based clustering   In this article, we …

Data Analytics – Clustering Example – Steps You Should Know

Clustering Example – Steps You Should Know   This article describes k-means clustering example and provide a step-by-step guide summarizing the different steps to follow for conducting a cluster analysis on a real data set using R software. We’ll use mainly two R packages: cluster: for cluster analyses and factoextra: for the visualization of the analysis results.   …

Data Analytics – CLUSTER ANALYSIS IN R SIMPLIFIED AND ENHANCED

CLUSTER ANALYSIS IN R SIMPLIFIED AND ENHANCED In R software, standard clustering methods (partitioning and hierarchical clustering) can be computed using the R packages stats and cluster. However the workflow, generally, requires multiple steps and multiple lines of R codes. This article describes some easy-to-use wrapper functions, in the factoextra R package, for simplifying and improving cluster analysis in R. These …
