So I generated this graph of elbow method. But it doesn’t have a prominent elbow that I saw in examples using other data set. The value of K according to this graph wil be 2 right?

    Ah I see your issue. Generate the graph on the knee method instead. It should give you better results.

    Either your dataset has very less number of data points or is too huge that u need to try with a higher number of k (cluster). I prefer silhouette tho…😅

      That makes sense. It’s a data spanning only year as we are still segmenting data of other years. It has like 60-70 data with not much variation. I need more data right?

    How many variables (columns) do you have and how many samples (rows)?

    Also please take a proper screenshot next time
