- Version of Opinion cluster analysis of 110,000 people using UMAP instead of PCA
Impression “Like a stingray”
-
I’m curious if the tail part is a political feature or a systemic one (e.g., people choosing “I don’t know” or “neutral” on everything).
- If you look at the data, there’s a “don’t know” for each question, and I’m including that one-hot expression.
-
If even UMAP can’t separate them, there’s no way PCA can.
- There was some kind of cluster sticking out of the PCA, so maybe that’s the stingray’s tail.
-
The opinion vectors of anonymous citizens are not so clearly separated.
