When we want to do some cluster analysis to identify groups in our data, we often use algorithms like K-Means, which require the specification of a number of clusters. But the issue is that we usually don\u2019t know how many clusters there are. There are many methods on how to determine the correct number, like silhouettes or elbow plot, to name a few. But they usually don\u2019t give much insight into what is happening between different options, so the numbers are a bit abstract.
