Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a dataset with a high degree of overlap in classes, discuss how you would set the C parameter. Justify your choice with reasoning regarding bias and variance.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how the data's characteristics affect C.

Question 2

You are working with a dataset where accurate classification is crucial (like medical diagnosis). How might you approach setting the C parameter, and what are the risks of your choice?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider the implications of C on accuracy versus overfitting.
