Hi,
I am planning to cluster my categorical data as I want to find the similarity in the data set. However, I ran into a problem where I could not find k-mode clustering operator. I know that it is possible to use k-mode clustering with python but I have little to no experience in coding. By any chance, is there any extension for it? Or, is there any better model for it?

Thanks

    Hi,
    I would recommend to use the clustering in Auto Model: this will take care of the necessary preprocessing for you.  Alternatively you could use k-Medoids clustering with a Mixed Euclidean distance measure for example...
