Question 1
Given a dataset with multiple features with very different scales (e.g., age, income, and height), describe how you would preprocess the dataset for a K-NN algorithm.
π‘ Hint: Consider which scaling method would best suit the feature distributions.
Question 2
Suppose you have outliers in your data's salary feature while using a machine learning model that relies on distance metrics. How would this affect your scaling and modeling choices?
π‘ Hint: Reflect on how outliers interact with different scaling methods.
