Cluster Analysis Python Tutorial: Methods and Examples

Cluster analysis groups similar observations without relying on preassigned labels, and Python provides several methods for doing it. A practical workflow is to prepare suitable features, scale them when needed, fit a clustering method, and check whether the resulting groups are meaningful for the problem. What cluster analysis does Clustering is an unsupervised learning task:
