| Aug 30, 2021 at 1:41 | comment | added | Asa Ya | @Glen_b Thank you so much for your clear description. I tried to change the data type to categorical because the categorical features contain text. For example, one of the road features is road type and its values are highway, local road, second road, and primary road. So I need to convert them to categorical data in order to be able to perform clustering techniques like AHC or k-median on my data. | |

| Aug 29, 2021 at 22:55 | comment | added | Dave | +1 The one caveat that comes to mind is when clearly categorical data are encoded as categories 0, 1, 2, etc, though number of road lanes is not such an instance. | |
