2) The formula for dissimilarity computation between two objects for categorical variables is – 1 point
Week 7 () Here p is a categorical variable and m denotes the number of matches.
Week 8 ()
D(i,j) = p-m / p
Week 9 ()
D(i,j) = p-m / m
D(i,j) = m-p / p
Week 10 ()
D(i,j) = m-p / m
Week 11 () Yes, the answer is correct.

Clustering analysis: Part III Accepted Answers:
(unit?unit=95&lesson=96)
D(i,j) = p-m / p
Cluster analysis: Part IV 3) Select the correct option for a data set with 7 objects and an interval-scaled variable ‘f’ we have the following measurements: 1 point
(unit?unit=95&lesson=97) f = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 50) containing one outlying value.
Cluster analysis: Part V
Std deviation (std_f) and mean absolute deviation (s_f) are equally affected
(unit?unit=95&lesson=98)
Mean absolute deviation (s_f) is more affected by the outlier
K- Means Clustering (unit?
Std deviation (std_f) is more affected by the outlier
