Data Mining

In chapter 8 we focus on cluster analysis.  Therefore, after reading the chapter answer the following questions:

1. What are the characteristics of data?
2. Compare the difference in each of the following clustering types: prototype-based, density-based, graph-based.
3. What is a scalable clustering algorithm?
4. How do you choose the right algorithm?
