Reduced Form Analysis for High Quality Hotels

Summary

  • Two cluster definition are tested: 1) # of Clusters = 9, and 2) # of Clusters = 2
  1. No. of Clusters = 9: This is defined by DBSCAN with all hotels (21 clusters obtained). Among 21 clusters, high-quality hotels (rating >= 3.5) are in 9 clusters.
  2. No. of Clusters = 2: Given all high-quality hotels, I conducted cluster analysis by using DBSCAN and obtain 2 clusters (Variables used:Latitutde, Longitude, and Rating)
