Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In evaluating clustering algorithms, which metric assesses the compactness of clusters?
  • Step 1: Understand what clustering algorithms do. They group similar data points together.
  • Step 2: Know that we want to evaluate how well these groups (clusters) are formed.
  • Step 3: Learn about the Silhouette Score, which is a metric used for this evaluation.
  • Step 4: The Silhouette Score measures how close a data point is to points in its own cluster versus points in other clusters.
  • Step 5: A high Silhouette Score means the data point is well matched to its own cluster and poorly matched to neighboring clusters.
