Case Study K-Means Clustering

K-Means clustering is an unsupervised learning algorithm that groups data points into a specified number of clusters based on their similarities. It was used to categorize 50 countries into 4 clusters based on their murder rate, assault rate, percentage of population living in urban areas, and crimes against women. The algorithm computes centroids for each cluster and iteratively assigns countries to clusters to minimize distances between countries and their assigned centroids until optimal clusters are identified.

K-Means Clustering

Clustering: Clustering is the task of dividing the population or data points into a number of groups such that data po
are more similar to other data points in the same group than those in other groups. In simple words, the aim is to seg
similar traits and assign them into clusters.
 
K-Means Clustering: K-Means Clustering is an unsupervised learning algorithm that is used to solve the clustering
science. The K-means clustering algorithm computes centroids and repeats until the optimal centroid is found.
