Assignment task: In Delen's text, he discusses a number of algorithms (K-Means, Association Rules, etc.). While these algorithms sometimes have broad applications, they are often best suited for specific types of data analyses or tasks. Select two of the algorithms discussed in Delen, and in two to three paragraphs, describe a problem for which the algorithms you have selected are well-suited. They must differ from examples cited in the book. Why are they well suited for the problem/analyses? What considerations have gone into your recommendations?
