Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You are given a highly complex Decision Tree that is performing poorly on validation data. Outline a comprehensive strategy using both pre-pruning and post-pruning methods to improve this model.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider both aspects: limitations during growth and adjustments afterward.

Question 2

Design a scenario where pre-pruning could lead to underfitting and suggest how to detect and avoid this problem during model building.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Reflect on parameter settings and training results.
