Paramente R Classification Clustering: 11) What Is The Difference Between Classification and Clustering?

Classification is a supervised learning technique that involves classifying input data into predefined classes or labels based on training data. Clustering is an unsupervised learning technique that involves grouping unlabeled input data into clusters based on similarities without predefined classes or labels. Classification requires labeled training data while clustering does not. Some example classification algorithms are logistic regression and support vector machines, while example clustering algorithms are k-means clustering and hierarchical clustering.
