Cluster size selection
Crystal manages operations for a meal delivery service in Houston, Texas. She has latitude and longitude data for meals requests in the past month. She'd like to create several new "delivery hubs" where demand has been greatest. In order to do this, she's asked a Machine Learning Scientist to use a clustering algorithm to divide the orders into groups based on their location.
The Machine Learning Scientist isn't sure how many clusters to make. On the right, run the algorithm with different numbers of clusters to see the results.
What is the most suitable number of clusters?
