Creating an Interactive KMeans Clustering App

Let’s put everything together now and make an interactive clustering application using our dataset.

• We’ll give users the option to choose the year as well as the indicator(s) that they want.
• They can also select the number of clusters and get a visual representation of those clusters in the form of a colored choropleth map, based on the discovered clusters.

The following illustration shows what we’ll be working toward:
