Abstract

Data science and data analytics are becoming increasingly important. It is widely used in scientific and real-life applications. These methods enable us to analyze, understand, and interpret the data in every field. In this study, k-means and k-medoids clustering methods are applied to cluster the Statistical Regions of Turkey in Level 2. Clustering analyses are done for 2017 and 2018 years. The datasets consist of “Distribution of expenditure groups according to Household Budget Survey” 2017 and 2018 values, “Gini coefficient by equivalised household disposable income” 2017 and 2018 values, and some features of “Regional Purchasing Power Parities for the main groups of consumption expenditures” 2017 values. Elbow method and average silhouette method are applied for the determining the number of the clusters at the beginning. Results are given and interpreted at the conclusion.
