Here's a Python implementation to address Q8:

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from sklearn.preprocessing import StandardScaler
from sklearn.cluster import DBSCAN
from sklearn.metrics import silhouette_score

# Load the dataset


data = pd.read_csv('energy_efficiency_data.csv')

# Explore the dataset


print(data.head())
print(data.describe())

# Visualize the data


plt.figure(figsize=(12, 8))
plt.subplot(2, 3, 1)
plt.hist(data['Relative Compactness'], bins=20)
plt.title('Relative Compactness')

# ... (similar plots for other features)

plt.tight_layout()
plt.show()

# Check for missing values


print(data.isnull().sum())

# Handle missing values (if any)


# e.g., data.fillna(data.mean(), inplace=True)

# Normalize the data


scaler = StandardScaler()
data_scaled = scaler.fit_transform(data)

# Apply DBSCAN clustering


eps_values = [0.5, 1.0, 1.5]
min_samples_values = [5, 10, 15]

for eps in eps_values:


for min_samples in min_samples_values:
dbscan = DBSCAN(eps=eps, min_samples=min_samples)
labels = dbscan.fit_predict(data_scaled)

# Visualize the clusters (e.g., scatter plot)


plt.scatter(data_scaled[:, 0], data_scaled[:, 1], c=labels, cmap='viridis')
plt.title(f'DBSCAN Clustering (eps={eps}, min_samples={min_samples})')
plt.show()

# Evaluate the clustering (e.g., silhouette score)


silhouette_avg = silhouette_score(data_scaled, labels)
print(f"For eps={eps} and min_samples={min_samples}, the average silhouette_score
is: {silhouette_avg}")

Interpretation of Results:
DBSCAN is a density-based clustering algorithm that groups together data points
that are closely packed together. By experimenting with different eps and
min_samples values, we can identify different clusters within the dataset.
* Clusters: The clusters identified by DBSCAN represent groups of buildings with
similar energy efficiency characteristics. For example, one cluster might contain
buildings with high relative compactness and low surface area, while another
cluster might contain buildings with low relative compactness and high surface
area.
* Outliers: DBSCAN can also identify outliers, which are data points that do not
belong to any cluster. These outliers might represent buildings with unusual energy
efficiency characteristics.
Additional Considerations:
* Feature Engineering: Consider creating new features that might be more relevant
for clustering, such as the ratio of wall area to roof area or the building's
volume.
* Visualization Techniques: Use more advanced visualization techniques, such as t-
SNE or UMAP, to visualize the clusters in lower-dimensional space.
* Evaluation Metrics: In addition to the silhouette score, consider other
evaluation metrics, such as the Davies-Bouldin index or the Calinski-Harabasz
index.
By carefully exploring the dataset, applying appropriate preprocessing techniques,
and tuning the DBSCAN parameters, we can gain valuable insights into the underlying
patterns and relationships between the different building features.
