Use the table above and Excel to classify patient addiction type (alcohol, cocaine, heroin) using Ethnicity and Age Category:
a. Construct a classification and regression tree (CART) (two levels only). (35 Points)
b. Construct a C4.5 decision tree (two levels only). (30 Points)
3) Use R/python to cluster (Algorithm=K-means; K=2) the seven (7) already normalized points in the accompanying table and answer a and b below: (20 points)

a. What are the members of each cluster?
b. What are the coordinates for the cluster centers?
4) Using data in the table below, construct a Neural Network with one Output Layer (z) and one Hidden Layer (A and B). Calculate the predicted outcome if the inputs to the input nodes are (x=1, Node 1=.4, Node 2=.7 Node 3= .7 and Node 4=.2). (15 points)
