On Dangers of Indiscriminate Clustering
K-means and other algorithms for clustering are widely used for determining associations based upon standardized series of attributes. While there are a number of clustering algorithms, including some robust ones, some not-so-robust, some non-parametric, and some model-based, all share two … Continue reading
