Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You are building a Decision Tree for classifying fruits based on features like color, weight, and size. Given the following class distribution of a specific node: 6 apples, 2 bananas, and 2 oranges, calculate the entropy for this node.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember the formula for entropy and how to calculate probabilities.

Question 2

You have a dataset for loan approvals with three features: income, credit score, and home ownership status. Discuss how you would use entropy to evaluate potential splits in this dataset. What might high and low entropy indicate?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think of what each split signifies about the data distribution.
