Task 1: Perform Customer Segmentation Using K-Means Clustering

Before building a clustering model, it is important to understand how customer segmentation works using Unsupervised Learning.

Unsupervised Learning

Unsupervised Learning is a type of Machine Learning where the model learns patterns from unlabeled data. Unlike supervised learning, there is no target variable or predefined output. The algorithm analyzes the data and identifies hidden structures, relationships, or groups on its own.

Common Algorithms:

  • K-Means Clustering
  • Hierarchical Clustering
  • DBSCAN
  • Principal Component Analysis (PCA)

K-Means Clustering

K-Means Clustering is a popular unsupervised learning algorithm used to group similar data points into K clusters.

The goal is to create clusters where data points within the same group are more similar to each other than to those in other groups.

The algorithm starts by selecting the number of clusters (K) and initializing K centroids. Each data point is assigned to the nearest centroid, and the centroids are then updated based on the mean of the assigned points. This process is repeated until the clusters become stable.

K-Means is widely used for customer segmentation, market analysis, and pattern discovery. It is simple, efficient, and works well with large datasets, but it requires the value of K to be specified beforehand and can be affected by outliers.

Elbow Method

The Elbow Method helps determine the optimal number of clusters.

It calculates the Sum of Squared Errors (SSE) for multiple cluster values.

The point where the curve starts flattening is considered the optimal cluster count.

Task 2: Perform Customer Segmentation Using Hierarchical Clustering

While K-Means requires the number of clusters to be specified beforehand, Hierarchical Clustering provides a visual representation of how clusters are formed using a Dendrogram.

Hierarchical Clustering

Hierarchical Clustering creates clusters by building a hierarchy of observations based on similarity.

Unlike K-Means, it does not require the number of clusters to be specified initially.

 

Types of Hierarchical Clustering

Agglomerative Clustering (Bottom-Up)

  • Starts with each observation as an individual cluster.
  • Merges similar clusters step-by-step.

 

Divisive Clustering (Top-Down)

  • Starts with one large cluster.
  • Divides it into smaller clusters.

Dendrogram

A Dendrogram is a tree-like diagram used to visualize the clustering process.

It helps identify:

  • Cluster similarity
  • Cluster formation
  • Optimal cluster count

Task 1: Understanding BRD

Before you start building anything, you need to clearly understand what the client actually wants.So, let’s begin by understanding the BRD (Business Requirement Document) shared by the client.

BRD Full Form is Business Requirement Details.BRD like a plan for building a house. This plan helps the builder understand what to build.In the same way,BRD tells developers what the client wants to build

Click to download BRD : BiteBox_BRD.pdf

Activity

After going through BRD list down the Core Features and  Web Pages in the tabulated Format as shown Below.

Col 1Col 2Col 3
Row 1
Row 2
Row 3

Formula

Profit = Revenue - Cost

Task 2: Create WireFrame

Now that you understand the requirements, don’t jump into coding yet. Before development, we always visualize the layout.

Now lets  create a simple wireframe for the homepage.

A wireframe is like a layout plan of a house. Before building, you decide where rooms, doors, and windows will be placed.Similarly, a wireframe helps you plan where elements like headers, images, and buttons will appear on a webpage—before adding design or colours.

Task 3: Code Editor Installation

Good work on completing the planning phase.

Now we will start development. Before that, make sure your system is ready with the required tools.

In this step we will install the VS code editor that will help to Write code efficiently,Organize files , Run and test your application
