Overview
Class Central Tips
Discover the basic concepts of cluster analysis, and then study a set of typical clustering methodologies, algorithms, and applications. This includes partitioning methods such as k-means, hierarchical methods such as BIRCH, and density-based methods such as DBSCAN/OPTICS. Moreover, learn methods for clustering validation and evaluation of clustering quality. Finally, see examples of cluster analysis in applications.

Cluster Analysis in Data Mining is third course in Coursera's new data mining specialization offered by the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. The course is a 4-week overview of data clustering: unsupervised learning methods that attempt to group data into clusters of related or similar observations. The course covers two most common clustering methods--K means and hierarchical clustering--as well as more than a dozen other clustering algorithms. Grading is based on 4 weekly quizzes with 3 attempts each.

completed this course, spending 3 hours a week on it and found the course difficulty to be medium.
I thought the class was good for someone who already knows how to apply clustering analysis to data. I have been using different clustering algorithms in the past, this class gave me a greater overview of the other clustering methods that existed that I hadn't been exposed to. I do not recommend this for someone who is new to the concept/application of clustering.

I liked the way I was able to learn more about the newest trends in clustering algorithms, but there was too much theory, and too little practice. However, it was a fun experience, but I hope in the second iteration that the ratio of the programming assignments and the theoretical descriptions of various algorithms and papers will be equal.
