This episode concludes Unit 5 by exploring dimensionality reduction and methods to evaluate clustering performance.

Key topics:

• Dimensionality reduction: Handling high-dimensional data.

• Principal Component Analysis (PCA): Variance-based transformation.

• WCSS: Measuring cluster compactness.

• Silhouette score: Evaluating cluster separation.

• Calinski-Harabasz index: Cluster quality measurement.

This episode completes the journey of unsupervised learning by connecting concepts with evaluation techniques.

This episode explores hierarchical clustering — a tree-based approach to grouping data and understanding relationships between clusters.

Key topics:

• Agglomerative clustering: Bottom-up approach.

• Divisive clustering: Top-down approach.

• Linkage methods: Single, complete, average, and Ward.

• Dendrogram: Visual representation of cluster hierarchy.

This episode helps visualize clustering structures beyond simple grouping.
