Part 2

We are performing a similar analysis on the diamonds dataset in R.

library(ggplot2)
diamonds = diamonds[,5:10] 
diamondscluster = kmeans(diamonds, centers = 3)
diamondscluster$size
## [1] 15331 32955  5654

Modified diamonds dataset with the first 5 columns

Running kmean with cluster size 3

diamondscluster$centers
##      depth    table     price        x        y        z
## 1 61.81558 57.87373  5781.019 6.617928 6.614152 4.087780
## 2 61.73626 57.19052  1458.081 4.992075 4.999063 3.084140
## 3 61.64657 57.88201 13345.484 7.634476 7.636127 4.699634

The more expenisve diamonds in cluster have greater dimentions.. As expected since the size is one of the attributes that determine the prize..

Analyzing diamond price based on cut

library(ggplot2)
data(diamonds)
diamonds$clusterid = diamondscluster$cluster

table(diamonds$cut,diamonds$clusterid)
##            
##                 1     2     3
##   Fair        583   872   155
##   Good       1736  2761   409
##   Very Good  3728  7122  1232
##   Premium    4593  7266  1932
##   Ideal      4691 14934  1926

There is no much difference in price with respect to cut. Not a great attriubte for determining price
