Scikit-learn offers various clustering algorithms, such as k-means, hierarchical clustering, and DBSCAN (Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise).
-
Scikit-learn provides tools for clustering evaluation, such as silhouette score and Calinski-Bartlett index.
-
Unsupervised learning can be used for dimensionality reduction, feature selection, anomaly detection, and much more.
-
Clustering algorithms, like K-means, DBSCAN, and hierarchical clustering, are available in Scikit-learn for grouping similar data points based on features.
-
Unsupervised learning also includes dimensionality reduction techniques, such as Principal Component Analysis (PCA), which helps lower dimensions while retaining most relevant information.
-
Scikit-learn's unsupervised learning application involves data loading, model instantiation, fitting, and prediction/information extraction.
-
Evaluating unsupervised learning performance uses metrics like silhouette score, Davies-Bouldin index, and explained variance ratio.
-
Proper data preprocessing with Scikit-learn includes handling missing values and outliers using modules like SimpleImputer and RobustScaler.
-
Feature scaling techniques like StandardScaler and MinMaxScaler improve machine learning algorithm performance.
-
Normalization scales data to ensure that the magnitude of features is not important.
-
Encoding categorical variables is essential using techniques like OneHotEncoder and LabelEncoder.
-
Scikit-learn offers other helpful features like handling imbalanced datasets and creating polynomial features.
-
Model evaluation metrics include accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, mean squared error, mean absolute error, and R-squared for different types of models.
