 It is important to think about the meaning of missing values when clustering. We could treat them as having meaning or we could remove those people who have them. Neither option is ideal. What problems do you foresee if we recode or remove these values? Write your answers below:

 We will remove people with missing values for this assignment, but keep in mind the issues that you have identified.
 
-
 ```{r}

 K3 <- na.omit(K2) #This command create a data frame with only those people with no missing values. It "omits" all rows with missing values, also known as a "listwise deletion". EG - It runs down the list deleting rows as it goes.
-
 ```
 
 Another pre-processing step used in K-means is to standardize the values so that they have the same range. We do this because we want to treat each week as equally important - if we do not standardise then the week with the largest range will have the greatest impact on which clusters are formed. We standardise the values by using the "scale()" command.
 
 ```{r}

-K3 <-

+K3 <- scale(K3)

 2) Associates all observations near to those values with them

 Now we need to visualize the clusters we have created. To do so we want to play with the structure of our data. What would be most useful would be if we could visualize average motivation by cluster, by week. To do this we will need to convert our data from wide to long format. Remember your old friends tidyr and dplyr!
 
 First lets use tidyr to convert from wide to long format.
 ```{r}
-
+#With 2 centers or clusters
 K5 <- gather(K4, "week", "motivation", 1:5)
+
+#With 3 centers or clusters
+RedoFit3 <- gather(RedoFit2, "week", "motivation", 1:5)
 ```
 
 Now lets use dplyr to average our motivation values by week and by cluster.
 
 ```{r}
+#With 2 centers or clusters
+K6 <- K5 %>% group_by(week, cluster) %>% summarise(avg = mean(motivation)) #K6, 
 
-K6 <- K5 %>% group_by(week, cluster) %>% summarise(K6, avg = mean(motivation))

 Likewise, since "cluster" is not numeric but rather a categorical label we want to convert it from an "integer" format to a "factor" format so that ggplot does not treat it as a number. We can do this with the as.factor() command.

 What patterns do you see in the plot?
 
+The two clusters are doing the opposite of each other. As cluster 1 increases, cluster 2 decreases and vice versa.
 
 
 It would be useful to determine how many people are in each cluster. We can do this easily with dplyr.

 K7 <- count(K4, cluster)

 Look at the number of people in each cluster, now repeat this process for 3 rather than 2 clusters. Which cluster grouping do you think is more informative? Write your answer below:
 
-##Part II
+The 3 clustered and 2 clustered numbers add up to the same number, which makes sense. It also appears that when you use 3 clusters here, the 2nd and 3rd ones might be composed of the same number (just 1 extra) as the 2nd one in the 2 cluster version. I think that the 3 clusters might be most informative as splitting out that last part shows something different is happening among the groupings.
