SESSION DESCRIPTION:Clustering is a fundamental component of data science’s machine learning toolbox. This session will explore the foundational concepts of clustering, and, through practical examples, provide insights into how it may be useful for analyzing education-related data. As part of this session, an R-based Jupyter notebook will be provided to participants as a reference if they wish to implement k-means clustering in their work.What is clustering?
