Clustering: Things you should know I know many of you know the definition of clustering but few of you also might don’t know. So basically, clustering is a kind of grouping when we don’t have any idea how to make the groups and on what basis? In data science term it is unsupervised learning. First, you have to understand the difference between types of clustering and types of clustering algorithms. Many of you consider the types of clustering algorithms i.e. K-means, Hierarchical as types of clustering but it’s not. The following are the types of clustering: Yes, you saw right these are the main types of clustering. Now we will look for each type. 1. Partitional: Partitional clustering is nothing but making subsets of data that will not overlap. In simple words making a cluster of each data object. So in partitional clustering, the number of clusters is always the number of observations. 2. Hierarchical: If we make sub-clusters of the cluster then it w
