Exercise 1

The development of Exercise 1 is presented below.

Installation of the required packages.

Exercise 2 – Unsupervised Clustering and Segment Characterization

Objective: 1) Standardize numeric RFM variables with scale()
2) Apply K-means clustering (start with k = 3)
3) Determine optimal k using:
- Elbow method (factoextra::fviz_nbclust)
- Silhouette method
4) Retrain K-means with optimal k and visualize results
5) Perform Hierarchical Clustering (hclust) and compare
6) Describe clusters: size, average RFM values, key differences
