Clustering (ML)

2021 Clustering of Outside Hitters based on performance indexes - Clustering (ML)

  • Several clustering algorithms were used to cluster outside hitters based on their attack, reception, and serve performances

  • The work includes a standardization of the performance indexes to compare players with different amount of data available

  • Results from several clustering models (K-Means, Agglomerative Clustering, Spectral Clustering, DBSCAN, Mean Shift) are displayed for a 2-feature and 3-feeature analysis (with same weight)

  • The data-set consists of 2021 summer national team season (Volleyball Nations League and Tokyo Olympics)

  • This work was developed with Python in a Jupyter Notebook, using Pandas and scikit-learn, with Plotly as visualization library
