Visualizing Data Slices

The data we're clustering has 4 different dimensions, so it's not possible for me to show all of it in one plot. I will instead show multiple 2D slices of the data, which should give a sense of what we're dealing with.

It's a lot to look at, so take a second to familiarize yourself. You'll be seeing a lot more of this data!

The important things to notice:

  • setosa flowers are clearly separated from the other two types
  • Although versicolor and virginica flowers are closer, they are still distinguishable, particularly when looking at their petals.
