Title: Testing k-modes

Time: 6 pm     

Location: Zoom Conference Call

Attendees: Sofian Ghazali, Rahul Balamurugan, Zahid Kamil

Absences: None

 

Action Items: Test K-modes

Meeting Agenda:

1. Decide on distance metric

2. Determine distance accuracy

Discussion and Notes:

The meeting was focused on which distance metric to use and how would we fit all of this into the GUI. The distance metric based on recommendations was the Jaccard distance. The jaccard distance works well with categorical data as shown and compared to the other distance metrics the threshold value chosen would be the best since it is right in the middle (0.45-0.5). With the testing done and obtaining a 98% accuracy we knew that the model was fed very little data and that it is obviously overfitting. Therefore, for future uses more data is the better option and this is why data is the new business.  Next meeting we should see what we get with other clustering numbers

Next meeting action items:​

1. Move on to K-means
