Practice Questions

Test your understanding with targeted questions related to the topic.

Question 1

Easy

Define what 'K' represents in KNN.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how many neighbors the model looks at to make its decision.

Question 2

Easy

What happens if you set 'K' to a very small number?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how sensitive the model will be to noise.

Interactive Quizzes

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

Question 1

What does a small value of 'K' usually indicate?

  • High bias
  • High variance
  • Low bias
  • Stable performance

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how much the model relies on individual data points.

Question 2

True or False: Larger values of 'K' generally increase bias while reducing variance.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Reflect on the implications of averaging predictions among more neighbors.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You are given a dataset with a high number of features. Describe how increasing dimensions might impact the choice of 'K' and suggest methods to address this.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how distance measures may become ineffective as dimensions rise.

Question 2

After choosing 'K', you notice that your KNN model performs poorly on unseen data. What steps would you take to reassess your choice of 'K'?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Why might you adjust your approach based on validation scores?
