Can I have answer with explanation?
1.(a) What is the main difference between K-means and K-medoids
clustering?
(b) What is the main limitation of both K-means and K-medoids
clustering?
a) Both the k -means and k -medoids algorithms are partitional (breaking the dataset up into groups). K-means attempts to minimize the total squared error, while k-medoids minimizes the sum of dissimilarities between points labeled to be in a cluster and a point designated as the center of that cluster.
b) K-Means Disadvantages : 1) Difficult to predict K-Value. 2) With global cluster, it didn't work well. 3) Different initial partitions can result in different final clusters. 4) It does not work well with clusters (in the original data) of Different size and Different density
The main disadvantage of K-Medoid algorithms is that it is not
suitable for clustering non-spherical (arbitrary shaped) groups of
objects. ...
It may obtain different results for different runs on the same
dataset because the first k medoids are chosen randomly.

Can I have the answer with explaination in own word. 1. (a) What is the motivation behind “subset selection”? (b) Explain what the term “shrinkage” means. (c) Discuss one shrinkage method that we have discussed in class. (d) What is the difference between linear and quadratic discriminant analysis?
You have performed an unsupervised k-means clustering on a data set with two attributes and the results indicate a k of 2. Later, you determine the class values for each data instance (there are four class values) and a supervised clustering results in a k of 4. Provide a possible explanation for why the two clustering methods disagree on a k value and a draw a sketch of the two clusterings to go along with your explanation.
Suppose you have been building a model using the k-means clustering algorithm and you keep finding that a certain variable is essentially ignored by the model (in other words, the variable is very similarly distributed across all clusters). Describe a method that can be used to exaggerate or minimize the impact of a variable when using k-means clustering. Why does this method work?
Please write full justification for (a) and (b). Will

4. K-means The goal of K-means clustering is to divide a set of n points into k< n subgroups of points that are "close" to each other. Each subgroup (or cluster) is identified by the center of the cluster, the centroid (μι, μ2' ··· ,14k) In class, we have seen a brute force approach to solve this problem exactly. Each of the k clusters is represented by a color, e.g.,...
Hierarchical clustering is sometimes used to generate K clusters, K > 1 by taking the clusters at the Kth level of the dendrogram. (Root is at level 1.) By looking at the clusters produced in this way, we can evaluate the behavior of hierarchical clustering on different types of data and clusters, and also compare hierarchical approaches to K-means. The following is a set of one-dimensional points: {6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 42, 48}. (a) For each of the following...
K-means clustering Problem 1. (10 pts) Suppose that we have the gene expression values for 5 genes (G1 to G5) under 4 time points (t1 to t4) as shown in the following table. Please use K-Means clustering to group 5 genes into 2 clusters based on Euclidean distance. Find out the final centroids and their affiliated genes. The initial centroids are c1=(1,2,3,4) and c2=c(9,8,7,6). Please write down your algorithm step by step. Result without steps won't get points. t1 t2...
1. apply k-means clustering to a dataset Task Consider the following set of two-dimensional records: RID Dimension 1 Dimension2 1 00 8 4 5 4 N 3 2 4 4 6 N 5 2. 00 6 00 8 6 Use the k-means algorithm to cluster the data in the dataset with K=3. You can assume that the records with RIDS 1, 3, and 5 are used for the initial cluster centroids (means). You must include the intermediate results in each...
What does (*) mean in the proof? I keep seeing this and have no idea what it means. It is not in the text. Who ever wrote the answer keeps using it without explanation. Please check out the answer on your platform (elementary number theory buton this is in 2.3 answers) and see if you can figure out what it means. It is critical to my understanding of the work. Thanks.

I need a CLEAR explanation for the answer. I'm
confident of the answer I have but I just want to know
why.
