Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You are given a dataset with 30% missing values in several important columns and a few outliers. What steps would you take to prepare the data for analysis?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Focus on the impact of missing data on your analysis.

Question 2

After applying PCA to your dataset, you find that the first principal component explains 80% of the variance. What does this imply for the remaining features, and how might this guide feature selection?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Evaluate how much information each remaining component retains.
