Question 1

What does a Gini impurity value of 0 signify?

  • All classes are mixed
  • All classes are pure
  • Some classes are overlapped

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider what purity means in classification terms.

Question 2

True or False: A higher Gini impurity indicates a more homogeneous dataset.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think of Gini impurity as a measure of mixture.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a dataset of 50 samples, where 30 belong to Class A, 15 to Class B, and 5 to Class C, calculate the Gini impurity. What is the effect on Gini impurity after selecting a split that results in two child nodes, one consisting of all Class A and B samples and the other containing Class C?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Always calculate Gini impurity for both initial and resultant nodes.

Question 2

In a decision tree where you realize Gini impurity continues to increase with splits constantly, suggest alternative nodes or strategies to help reduce impurity effectively.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about tree complexity and its effect on generalization.
