Mixed types of data for clustering












0












$begingroup$


I have the following types of data for clustering - Numeric, Categorical and Latitude Longitude data for a location in one dataframe in python. I would like to know how can I go about doing clustering when the data is mixed to this degree.



Can I DBSCAN or hierarchical clustering and what do I need to do to convert categorical data to numeric. Same with geo location data.
