END OF THE SCRIPTS¶
conclusion
The code provided performs clustering on a dataset of car makes, prices, and city mileage using KMeans clustering.
First, the code reads in a CSV file with the dataset and selects the "make", "price", and "city-mpg" columns, assigning them to the variables Y, X, and scaled_X, respectively.
Next, the code creates two scatter plots of the data, one with city-mpg on the x-axis and make on the y-axis, and one with price on the x-axis and make on the y-axis.
The code then uses the StandardScaler function to standardize the X data, and creates a range of K values to test for the number of clusters. For each K value, the code calculates the sum of squared errors (SSE) and plots the SSE values against the K values to determine the optimal K value for clustering the data. In this case, the code selects K=3.
The code then performs KMeans clustering on the city-mpg data using K=3, and creates a new DataFrame (MC_df) that includes the standardized city-mpg data, the original car make data, and the cluster assignment for each row. The code then creates three separate DataFrames for each of the three clusters, and creates a scatter plot of the city-mpg data with each cluster assigned a different color.
The code then repeats the same process for price data, but the function warns that some feature names were not seen at fit time, and a future warning is given. The code then creates a new DataFrame (MP_df) that includes the standardized price data, the original car make data, and the cluster assignment for each row. The code then creates three separate DataFrames for each of the three clusters, but there is no scatter plot or graph of the data.
These plots are showing the results of hierarchical clustering of cars based on two different attributes: city mileage and price. The data has been divided into three clusters, represented by different colors (red, green, and blue). The y-axis shows the car make, while the x-axis shows either city mileage or price.
The first plot shows that there is some clustering of cars based on city mileage, with certain makes of cars having higher or lower city mileage. The second plot shows that there is clustering of cars based on price, with some makes of cars being more expensive than others.
Overall, these plots are useful for visualizing the results of hierarchical clustering and can help to identify patterns in the data. However, it is important to keep in mind that these plots are only showing two attributes of the data and there may be other factors that are important in determining how cars are clustered.
Final conclusion
Based on the analysis performed, it can be concluded that hierarchical clustering can be a useful tool for segmenting vehicles based on their price and city mileage. The analysis revealed three clusters for each variable, indicating that there are distinct groups of vehicles that differ in terms of these two attributes.
In terms of city mileage, the first cluster consisted of vehicles with the highest mileage, followed by a cluster with moderate mileage, and a final cluster with the lowest mileage. On the other hand, for vehicle price, the first cluster included the most expensive vehicles, followed by a cluster with moderately-priced vehicles, and a final cluster with the least expensive vehicles.
The scatter plots showed the distribution of makes within each cluster, providing additional insight into the characteristics of each group. Overall, this analysis can help automakers and dealerships better understand the market and tailor their offerings to different customer segments.
