Practice Questions

Test your understanding with targeted questions related to the topic.

Question 1

Easy

What is the primary purpose of regularization in machine learning?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about what happens when a model learns too much detail from training data.

Question 2

Easy

Name two types of regularization techniques.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think naming conventions that indicate their behavior with model coefficients.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a dataset with 10 predictors, some of which are correlated, describe a strategy for using Elastic Net to select features while preventing overfitting.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how Elastic Net allows for both shrunk coefficients and feature elimination.

Question 2

Create a Python script that performs Elastic Net regression on a given dataset, and utilize K-Fold cross-validation to evaluate its performance.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Focus on setting up appropriate data preprocessing before the implementation.
