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 very popular data clustering technique with a wide range of applications in market segmentation and market basket analysis.
Workshop Outline:
The workshop focuses on the application of the k-means clustering technique to group data points into clusters together with the application of Dunn index to improve the quality of clustering.
Prerequisites:
Data analysis, basic statistics
