Question

2. The SSE (sum squared error) is a common measure of the quality of a cluster. It is the sum of the squares of the distances between each of the points of the cluster and the centroid. Compute the SSE for a cluster consisting of the following three points: (0,8), (6,5), and (3,2). Select the answer from the list below. a) 52 b) 36 c) 24 d) 39

1. The SSE (sum squared error) is a common measure of the quality of a cluster. It is the sum of the squares of the distances between each of the points of the cluster and the centroid. Compute the SSE for a cluster consisting of the following three points: (3,8), (7,5), and (2,2). Select the answer from the list below. a) 27 b) 30 c) 32 d) 23

The SSE (sum squared error) is a common measure of the quality of a cluster. It is the sum of the squares of the distances between each of the points of the cluster and the centroid. Sometimes, we decide to split a cluster in order to reduce the SSE. Suppose a cluster consists of the following three points: (8,9), (0,8), and (8,2). Calculate the reduction in the SSE if we partition the cluster optimally into two clusters. Find the reduction in the list below: 1. 24.50 2. 38.83 3. 46.83 4. 21.33
