Classification and clustering are important statistical techniques commonly applied in many social and behavioral science research problems. Both seek to understand social phenomena through the identification of naturally occurring homogeneous groupings within a population. Classification techniques are used to sort new observations into preexisting or know groupings while clustering techniques sort the population under study into groupings based on their observed characteristics. Both help to reveal hidden structure that may be used in further analysis. This course will compare and contrast these techniques, including many of their variations, with an emphasis on applications.

drone overflights and surveillance capitalism have historically and politically rendered residual
concepts of movement, communication and privacy anachronistic. History can be surveilled and reedited through counterfactuality. The technocratic, political and corporate centralization of exposure
precipitates counter-surveillance activism or sousveillance such as Black Lives Matter, new aesthetic
strategies of evasion and new cognitive mappings of public/private space.
