Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

You are given a dataset in 10-dimensional space. Explain how you would approach estimating its probability density and what challenges you might face.

💡 Hint: Reflect on how the dimensions can complicate data representation.

Challenge 2 Hard

Design a simulation to compare the effects of varying bandwidth on the clarity of a density estimate. What observations would you expect to make?

💡 Hint: Consider how different bandwidths change the shape of the estimated density.
