Comparing the Elbow Method and Silhouette Method for choosing the optimal number of clusters in K-Means algorithm

Hello a todas las personas, I'm Isaac Arroyo 🇲🇽 👋

I do data analysis and visualization as a Data Analyst in N+ Focus, the investigative journalism unit of N+ (Televisa-Univision). I work at the intersection of numbers/math, shapes and colours.

If you want to see my projects, you can visit my Behance profile or look at my 📌 pinned projects.

Quick summary about my academic background

• ⚛️ I have a BSc. in Engineering Physics.
• 🌳🔥🌳 My undergraduate thesis focused on exploring and visualizing wildfire records and environmental data from different sources (satellite imagery was one of them 🛰️ 🗺️). Here are a Medium article I wrote and the GitHub repo of my undegrad thesis project.

My professional interests 🤓

Although my background is in physics, I aim to use my data analysis and visualization skills in other fields. For example, social sciences and human rights 🧑‍🤝‍🧑👬👭, the arts 🎨, public policy 🏛️ and the environment (hence my undergrad thesis) 🌱🍃.

My tech, data and math skills 📝

Due to my engineering degree, I have strong knowledge of math (i.e. statistics & linear algebra) and unsupervised learning (anomaly detection & pattern recognition ). I mostly do data analysis and visualization with Python and R (and soon, Observable Plot). Also, I know my way with design software (Adobe Illustrator) and other types of data visualization tools, such as Datawrapper and Flourish.

Other things about me ✨

• 🎧 I love listening to Alessia Cara, Taylor Swift, The Warning, Last Dinner Party & Residente/Calle 13.
• 🎥 "The secret life of Walter Mitty" is my favourite movie and the one that inspired and motivated me to learn photography.
• 🎨 I love art, especially painting and architecture. I enjoy going to art exhibitions and learning about art history.
