Chapter 12 Unsupervised Learning

Chapter learning objectives:

  • Compare and contrast supervised learning and unsupervised learning.
  • Perform principal component analysis to analyze the sources of variance in a dataset.
  • Impute missing values in a dataset via matrix completion.
  • Perform K-means clustering to partition observations into a pre-specified number of clusters.
  • Perform hierarchical clustering to partition observations into a tree-like structure.
