Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

A dataset contains customer preferences for a new product. You are tasked with clustering this dataset without knowing the number of natural segments. Explain how you would employ Non-parametric Bayesian methods to tackle this problem.

💡 Hint: Consider the flexibility and adaptability aspects.

Challenge 2 Hard

Discuss the implications of overfitting in finite parametric models compared to Non-parametric models in the context of clustering.

💡 Hint: Focus on how each type handles data changes and noise.
