Abstract

Clustering is a crucial step in data analysis refining process. Predictive analytics is carried out using a variety of clustering approaches, including partitioning clustering, hierarchical clustering, grid-based clustering, model-based, graph-based clustering, and intensity clustering, among others. The hierarchical approach allows one to cluster data objects into a tree-like structure. The cluster is the name given to each node in the hierarchy. There are two types of hierarchical clustering: agglomerative clustering and divisive clustering. Clustering by agglomeration is often desirable. The performance of the clusters ought to be good for a successful cluster analysis. In this document, we will be using three components to assess cluster reliability: cohesion calculation, silhouette index, and length of time.
