Interactive Quizzes

Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.

Question 1

What is overfitting?

  • A model that captures only training data patterns
  • A model that generalizes well
  • A model with low training error and high test error

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think of a student memorizing answers without understanding the content.

Question 2

True or False: Lasso regularization can set some coefficients to zero.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider the difference in how Lasso and Ridge handle coefficients.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a comprehensive study evaluating the performance of Lasso, Ridge, and Elastic Net regression on a dataset of your choice. What metrics would you employ, and how would you compare model behaviors in terms of coefficient values?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Focus on the interpretability of the coefficients alongside performance metrics.

Question 2

Consider a dataset with both categorical and numerical features. How would you process this data prior to applying regularization techniques? What challenges might arise?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Reflect on the importance of preprocessing steps in model preparation.
