Unsupervised learning: Cluster Analysis

¡ñ Use Fall 2020 as an example
¡ñ Steps of a Cluster Analysis:
¡ð Step 1: Select variables for clustering.
¡ð Step 2: Scale the data (sometimes optional because many clustering packages now will do the
scaling for you).
¡ð Step 3: Define similarity(distance) measure. (How to calculate the distance?)
¡ð Step 4: Decide the Clustering Method (Kmeans or Hierarchical?)
¡ð Step 5: Decide the Number of Clusters.
¡ð Step 6: Evaluate the clustering result.

Find the optimal number of clusters—WSS
¡ñ WSS: within cluster sum of squares
