<p>Cluster Analysis is the art of finding inherent structures in data to form groups of similar observations. This has a myriad of applications from recommendation engines to social network analysis.</p>
<p>This is an independent study, meaning that I will be studying this topic under the direction of a professor, in this case being Dr. Denhere.</p>
<p>I have provided a list of topics that I wish to explore in a <ahref="index.html%3Fresearch%252FClusterAnalysis%252Fsyllabus.html">syllabus</a></p>
<p>Dr. Denhere likes to approach independent studies from a theoretical and applied sense. Meaning, I will learn the theory of the different algorithms, and then figure out a way to apply them onto a dataset.</p>
<h2>Readings</h2>
<p>There is no definitive textbook for this course. Instead I and Dr. Denhere search for materials that we think best demonstrates the topic at hand. </p>
<p>I have created a <ahref="index.html%3Fresearch%252FClusterAnalysis%252Freadings.html">Reading Page</a> to keep track of the different reading materials.</p>
<h2>Learning Notes</h2>
<p>I like to type of the content I learn from different sources. A <ahref="index.html%3Fresearch%252FClusterAnalysis%252Fnotes.html">notes page</a> is created to keep track of the content discussed each meeting.</p>
