Practice Questions

Test your understanding with targeted questions related to the topic.

Question 1

Easy

What are 'residuals' in the context of GBM?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how predictions can differ from actual outcomes.

Question 2

Easy

What is the purpose of the learning rate in GBM?

πŸ’‘ Hint: It prevents any one model from dominating the predictions.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a regression problem with multiple features, how would you go about tuning the learning rate in a GBM model? Provide a detailed explanation.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how slow adjustments can help avoid pitfalls of sudden learning.

Question 2

Discuss the implications of overfitting in GBM models and suggest methods to mitigate this issue.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how many trees or models are used versus the depth of each.
