Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You are given a dataset from a house pricing model where predictions are consistently underestimated. Explain how MSE could help you improve this model. What actions could be explored using this information?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how you can learn from the error measurements.

Question 2

Discuss the implications of using L1 regularization versus L2 regularization on the loss function in a predictive model. How do each approach potentially affect the complexity of your model?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think of these penalties as shaping how your model learns from the data.
