Analisis Cluster dengan Menggunakan Metode K-Means dan K-Medoids untuk Clustering Data Donatur Lembaga Amil Zakat

Abstract

Cluster analysis is a multivariate analysis method whose purpose is to classify an object into a group based on certain characteristics. In cluster analysis, determining the number of initial clusters is very important so that the resulting clusters are also optimal. In this study, an analysis of the most optimal number of clusters for data classification will be carried out using the K-Means and K-Medoids methods. The data were analyzed using the RFM model and a comparative analysis was carried out based on the DBI value and cluster compactness which was assessed from the average silhouette score. The K-Means method produces the smallest DBI value of 0.485 and the highest average silhouette score value of 0.781 at k=6, while the K-Medoids method produces the smallest DBI value of 1.096 and the highest average silhouette score value of 0.517 at k=3. The results show that the best method for clustering donor data is using the K-Means method with an optimal number of clusters of 6 clusters.
