Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Craft a scenario where a classification model shows high recall but low precision. Explain the implications of using such a model in a practical application.

💡 Hint: Consider the impact of false positives in real-world scenarios.

Challenge 2 Hard

Given an AUC score of 0.75 for an ROC curve, analyze what this conveys about the classifier's effectiveness in binary classification and provide guidance on further evaluations.

💡 Hint: Reflect on AUC’s interpretation concerning model effectiveness.
