An entrepreneur wants to make an app to show what breeds of dogs are similar to each other. She wants to look at factors such as weight and energy level in her comparison. In the end, she wants each breed of dog to belong to a certain category based on these characteristics. What would be a sensible approach to solving this problem using clustering?

Answer

Dog breeds = observations, Average weight and energy level for each breed = variables. Each cluster is a category.

Explanation:

Using a method of clustering, she would be putting the dog breeds that are more similar together and in order to do this she has to look at various factors such as observation which are the dog breeds, and the average weight and energy level of the breeds, which represents variables. Every one of these clusters would be a category.
