You are working on a real-world problem that requires clustering, but the Elbow Method doesn't show a clear elbow point. What might be the underlying issues, and how could you proceed?
- Data doesn't have well-separated clusters; Consider other methods like Silhouette
- Increase the number of data points
- Reduce the number of features
- Use a different clustering algorithm entirely
When the Elbow Method doesn't show a clear elbow point, it may be an indication that the data doesn't have well-separated clusters. In this case, considering other methods like the Silhouette Method to determine the optimal number of clusters is an appropriate course of action.
