Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Consider a dataset where the class separations form concentric circles. Discuss why linear models would be unsuitable and propose an alternative modeling approach.

💡 Hint: Visualize the data layout before choosing your model.

Challenge 2 Hard

Analyze the computational trade-offs of using feature transformation versus opting for non-linear models directly. Which approach would you recommend for a large dataset?

💡 Hint: Consider the balance between computational resources and model accuracy.
