Question
A healthcare analytics company wants to segment patients into groups that have similar risk factors to develop personalized treatment plans. The company has a dataset that includes patient health records, medication history, and lifestyle changes. The company must identify the appropriate algorithm to determine the number of groups by using hyperparameters. Which solution will meet these requirements?
Options
- AUse the Amazon SageMaker AI XGBoost algorithm. Set max_depth to control tree complexity for
- BUse the Amazon SageMaker k-means clustering algorithm. Set k to specify the number of
- CUse the Amazon SageMaker AI DeepAR algorithm. Set epochs to determine the number of
- DUse the Amazon SageMaker AI Random Cut Forest (RCF) algorithm. Set a contamination

Explanation
Patient segmentation into similar-risk groups is an unsupervised clustering task - there are no predefined labels. The Amazon SageMaker k-means algorithm is purpose-built for clustering and uses the hyperparameter k to specify how many clusters (groups) to create, which directly addresses the requirement to 'determine the number of groups by using hyperparameters.' XGBoost (A) is a supervised learning algorithm for classification or regression, not clustering. DeepAR (C) is a time-series forecasting algorithm. Random Cut Forest (D) is an anomaly detection algorithm used to find outliers, not to segment patients into balanced groups.
