Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given a dataset with a severe class imbalance, how would you approach model evaluation? Discuss the metrics you would emphasize and why.

💡 Hint: Consider the model's sensitivity to false positives and negatives.

Challenge 2 Hard

Consider a medical test for a rare disease where 95% of results are negative. If your model shows 95% Accuracy, what implications does this have regarding Precision and Recall? Discuss.

💡 Hint: Reflect on the consequences of missing actual disease cases versus incorrectly diagnosing healthy individuals.
