ITS 632 Module Five Essay Guidelines and Rubric
Topic: Cluster analysis: challenges, trends, and tools
Overview: The purpose of this assignment is to explore the current challenges, trends, and tools that are associated with the process of
conducting a cluster analysis.
Data storage used to be the biggest challenge with big data. However, due to advances in cloud infrastructures, storing data is no longer a key
concern. Accessing data is now the newest imperative that data scientists face today. Clustering has made big data analysis much easier.
However, clustering has introduced its own set of challenges that data engineers must address.
Primary challenges with data clustering. Describe and explain one or two of the primary challenges associated with data clustering
techniques. For example, selecting the correct algorithm for the analysis can be difficult. The literature on cluster analysis includes
thousands of different algorithms that can be used. Finding the right one for a particular problem requires expertise in the myriad of
mathematical and computational options that are available.
Current trends in technology for mitigating challenges. Please describe one trend in data science that can help organizations overcome
today’s data clustering challenges. For example, hierarchical clustering has gained traction with machine learning because it does not
require the data scientist to pre-specify the number of clusters.
Data mining tools. Describe one tool that can support the process of data clustering and provide a real-world example or scenario where
this tool has helped an organization overcome their data clustering challenges. For example, the open source tool Weka has a Cluster
panel that can be used to identify attributes of those banking customers who have been most loyal for distributing specialized digital
marketing campaigns.
Guidelines for Submission: Using APA 6th edition style standards, submit a Word document that is 2-4 pages in length (excluding title page,
references, and appendices) and include at least two credible scholarly references to support your findings. The UC Library is a good place to find

II. Current trends: Describe one current trend in data science that can help organizations overcome today’s data clustering challenges.
III. DM tools and real-world scenario: Describe one tool that can support the process of data clustering and provide a real-world example or
scenario where this tool has helped an organization overcome their data clustering challenges.
