Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

You are given a dataset with multiple features, some exhibiting strong skewness. Outline a step-by-step approach to handle these features for a regression model.

💡 Hint: Consider both transformation and scaling as critical components.

Challenge 2 Hard

Imagine you are tasked with preparing a dataset with features ranging from 1 to 1000 versus features from 0 to 1 for a machine learning model. Describe how you would unify these features.

💡 Hint: How do scaling methods equalize varying feature ranges?
