Data Mining Algorithms

When using different data algorithms, why is it fundamentally important to understand

why they are being used?

Algorithms are being used to help optimize everything. They are helping save lives,

make things easier and even conquer chaos. Experts are worried that data algorithms can put too

much control on different governments and companies, perpetuating bias, creating filter bubbles,

cutting choices, and contributing to the increased unemployment rate (Tan, et al., 2016) . It is

essential to understand that different data algorithms are helpful tools to accomplish various

tasks. These algorithms are mostly invisible aids and augment our lives in incredible ways.

Its good to understand why these algorithms are used as some algorithms created with good

intentions can result in unintended consequences. It is important to understand why certain

algorithms are used to help decide the data structure that could go along with them.

If there are significant differences in the data output, how can this happen, and why is it

important to note the differences?

Data output is a method and process where data can be studied under various

circumstances and even manipulated as needed by the researcher. Any statistical analysis that

can be used will produce output data that will require to be studied. There is a significant

difference in the data output as we see that this data will require to be modified in a way that is

well presentable; hence further conclusions and even inferences can get drawn from this data,

and hence the researcher will require to study different data output methods (Tan, et al., 2016)

Data output also entails the representation of data. Data output is central to statistical analysis

and, hence, a very important part of the experiment being carried out.
Who should determine which algorithm is “right” and the one to keep? Why?

Business leaders should be the ones to determine which algorithm is right and the ones to keep as

they are the ones who understand the algorithms better. (Tan, et al., 2016)
