I know `step_kmeans` or `step_kmedoids` are available as tidymodel recipes but what about other clustering algorithms? Is there a way to test several of them within the tidymodels workflow?

"Anscombe's quartet" illustrates how datasets can have nearly identical descrptv stats but very different distributions @lucystats proposed the "Causal Quartet" 4 datasets all with the same statistical summaries & dataviz but different true causal effects🤯https://livefreeordichotomize.com/posts/2023-04-24-causal-quartets/
