 (Individual Project):  Description: Select your case study organization that is using complex data systems and need your help as a data scientist to advise them on data analysis issues and management. Explain the company overview, products/services, and their data management system. Identify the problem the organization is having and draft a problem statement to drive your research paper. Research and identify five clustering algorithms. Compare and contrast the identified five clustering algorithms. Recommend a clustering algorithm to your chosen organization with justification to support your selection. Select four object attributes (for example, age, income, etc.) to use in the cluster analysis of the organization’s complex data. It is important to understand what attributes will be known at the time a new object will be assigned to a cluster. For example, information on existing customers’ satisfaction or purchase frequency may be available. Deliverable: About 5-7 pages. The maximum allowed submission is two. Follow standard APA guidelines, including an abstract, conclusion, and a reference page with a minimum of three references.

From the instructor:

Please identify a computer system you have recently had experience with (at home, work,etc.); prepare an attached  PowerPoint presentation (minimum 8 slides) describing a potential computer security problem related to that system. The target audience is a manager who you are trying to convince to investigate the potential security issues.

Suggestions:

• Begin with a description of the organization and the computer system you have chosen.
• Where necessary, you may make assumptions about any specifics please note these as such in your presentation notes.
• Draw from the assigned readings (and your independent research) to identify what topics should be included.
• If you feel that slide information is not self-explanatory, add additional details in the presentation notes.

Also Reply to your classmates:

Reply to posts of your classmates’ posting, providing your thoughts on the security issue that he/she identified. Provide your response as to whether you (as a manager) would approve/disapprove the security project based on the results of the presentation.
