Is 4 the Optimal Number of Clusters?
The last chart (displayed below) left the question about an optimal number of clusters unanswered. Seems like 4 is the 'local maximum', but the value 5 is not significantly lower than 4. We need to consider both cases.
Let's watch the scatter plot of average January vs July temperatures in the case of 4 clusters.

The clustering seems logical, it splits the cities into different disjoint groups. But what if we build the same chart but for 5 clusters? That will be your task!

- Import
SpectralClustering
function fromsklearn.cluster
. - Create a
SpectralClustering
model with 5 clusters using the'nearest_neighbors'
affinity. - Fit the 3-14 columns of
data
to themodel
and predict the labels. Save the result within the'prediction'
column of data. - Build the
seaborn
scatter plot with average January (column'Jan'
) vs July (column'Jul'
) temperatures for each cluster (column'prediction'
).
