Applied Computational Thinking with Python

By: Sofía De Jesús, Martinez

Overview of this book

Computational thinking helps you to develop logical processing and algorithmic thinking while solving real-world problems across a wide range of domains. It's an essential skill that you should possess to keep ahead of the curve in this modern era of information technology. Developers can apply their knowledge of computational thinking to solve problems in multiple areas, including economics, mathematics, and artificial intelligence. This book begins by helping you get to grips with decomposition, pattern recognition, pattern generalization and abstraction, and algorithm design, along with teaching you how to apply these elements practically while designing solutions for challenging problems. You’ll then learn about various techniques involved in problem analysis, logical reasoning, algorithm design, clusters and classification, data analysis, and modeling, and understand how computational thinking elements can be used together with these aspects to design solutions. Toward the end, you will discover how to identify pitfalls in the solution design process and how to choose the right functionalities to create the best possible algorithmic solutions. By the end of this algorithm book, you will have gained the confidence to successfully apply computational thinking techniques to software development.

Implementing data clustering

In this section, we're going to take a look at how to approach data clustering. First, let's define what we mean by data clustering. Data clustering refers to how we partition data into groups or clusters. Clusters can be meaningful if they provide an expanded understanding of domain knowledge. We use clustering for many applications, such as medicine, where clustering can help identify how a group of patients responds to treatment, or market research, where clustering is used to group consumers in order to appeal to that group based on that particular group's characteristics.

For the purpose of this discussion, we are going to look at synthetic clusters rather than applied clusters. In Chapter 16, Advanced Applied Computational Thinking Problems, you'll see some examples of clusters in context. A synthetic cluster is made from a synthetic dataset. That is, we generate the dataset using an algorithm. Let's take a look at the...
