Question 1

What is the primary cause of bias in a predictive model?

  • Overly complex model
  • Simplifying assumptions
  • Random fluctuations

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about consistent errors in model predictions.

Question 2

In terms of error, what does high variance represent?

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how well the model generalizes.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a dataset that exhibits clear non-linear patterns, design a modeling approach addressing potential bias and variance considerations.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Explore varying model complexities.

Question 2

Illustrate the bias-variance trade-off by producing a report of different models tested (e.g., linear, polynomial) and their performance metrics.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Include visual regression plots alongside metrics.
