Application Focus
The posts I have seen have been great and many of them are focused on algorithms - correlation between stocks, decision trees, k nearest neighbors. I wanted to start a thread regarding where your work can be applied to. When I think of the k nearest neighbors algorithm, I think of pattern recognition. Using data to predict how often you make large purchases, how weather conditions will affect the extent of your allergies, etc. As you progress to more complex algorithms like SVM and K Means Clustering, let us know what cases you see these algorithms being used.
