Which of the following is ALWAYS TRUE about unit of measurement?

I. To remedy the issue on unit measurement, rescaling of the attributes may be done by dividing each
attribute value by its variance.
II. The choice for the unit of measurement of a particular object is important because it directly affects
the cluster membership of the data points.

Which of the following is ALWAYS TRUE about the considerations regarding the object attributes when
performing cluster analysis?
I. On the choice of which attributes to use, it is important to understand what attributes will be known
at the time a new object will be assigned to a cluster.
II. Whenever possible and based on the data, it is best to reduce the number of attributes to the extent
possible.

The following is ALWAYS TRUE about the k-means algorithm EXCEPT


The optimum number of clusters may be determined by examining the within sum of squares for
different values of k.
Convergence is reached when the computed centroids do not change or the centroids and the
assigned points oscillate back and forth from one iteration to the next.
The k-means results to an equal number of data points per cluster.
Centroids are recomputed for each newly defined cluster and data points are reassigned based on
the proximity to the newly computed centroids.

Which of the following is an application of clustering?


Image processing
Plant classification
Customer Segmentation
All of the Above

In general, the following questions should be asked whenever performing diagnostics of the results.
Are the clusters well separated from each other?
Do any of the clusters have only a few points?
Do any of the centroids appear to be too close to each other?
All of the Above

This is an analytical technique that identifies k clusters of objects based on the objects’ proximity to the
center of the k groups where center is the arithmetic average of n-dimensional vector of attributes.
K-modes
K-means
K-medians

Which of the following is TRUE about unsupervised learning?


I. Unsupervised learning refers to the problem of finding hidden structures within unlabeled data.

Which of the following is TRUE about clustering?


Clustering analysis can help answer questions about natural groupings of the dataset.
By adding more variables about the customers, the task of finding meaningful groupings in
clustering becomes more complex.
Clustering methods find the similarities between objects according to the object attributes and
group the similar objects into clusters.
