K-Means clustering with low silhouette score but clear cluster pattern, what to believe

2.2k Views Asked by At

Thanks all in advance! I'm pretty new in unsupervised learning.

I have a web usage dataset with inflated zeros. The zeros are simply because user didn't engage with a web feature. The usages are relatively low for majority of my variables.

I clustered my data with K-Means, the silhouette score looks not very convincing as it looks like I only one good cluster and it's really big:enter image description here. The plots are number of clusters and silhouette score from 2 to 5 clusters.

It looks like the 3 clusters have higher score. I went ahead to cluster with k=3. If I plot a polar plot, it looks like the clusters are very clear. enter image description here

I'm really confused, are my clustered result valid or not?
