In this fourth and last chapter on machine learning, we will cover clustering. To get this technique in perspective, let’s do a small recap of what we have gone through in terms of machine learning until now.

The machine learning topics started after the introduction of interpolation. In interpolation, we tried to estimate a target variable for locations at which the value of this target variable is unknown. Interpolation uses a mathematical formula to decide on the best possible theoretical way ...
