6.3 Supervised and Unsupervised Algorithms
As stated in the previous Chapter, Data science uses various algorithms to find patterns, make predictions, or analyze large data. Choosing the right algorithm depends on the type of data and the kind of problem you are trying to solve. Some common data science algorithms are:
These algorithms help organizations solve real- world problems such as predicting exam results, grouping customers for better marketing and identifying patterns in fraud or health data.

Think of an algorithm like a recipe in the kitchen. It tells the computer what ingredients (data) to use and what steps to follow to get the final dish (prediction or group).
