Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You have a dataset with 100 features to predict housing prices. Describe how you would implement Lasso regression to determine which features are most influential, including the surrogate steps.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how each step contributes to feature selection.

Question 2

Given an imbalanced dataset for classification, discuss how Stratified K-Fold cross-validation might improve your results compared to K-Fold in the context of a Lasso regression model.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Reflect on the impact of class imbalance on model performance.
