Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a dataset with clusters of different shapes, outline the steps you would take to implement DBSCAN, including how you would select eps and MinPts.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider density and neighbors in choosing your parameters.

Question 2

Create a comparative analysis of clustering efficacy between DBSCAN and K-Means on a provided dataset, focusing on how the shape of clusters influences performance.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Review characteristics of the clusters produced by each algorithm to discuss strengths and weaknesses.
