Abstract:
Market basket analysis is a technique in data analysis that harnesses data mining to discover relationships between different data points. It is often used to deduce frequently purchased items to inform business decisions better and targeted marketing (recommendation systems). The k-means technique is a prevalent data clustering technique with many applications in market segmentation and market basket analysis.
Workshop Outline:
The workshop focuses on applying the k-means clustering technique to group data points into clusters and applying Dunn index to improve the quality of clustering.
Prerequisites:
Data analysis, basic statistics
