Interactive Quizzes

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

Question 1

What does the AUC of 1.0 signify?

  • Average performance
  • Perfect classifier
  • No better than random guessing

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about the ideal case for classifiers.

Question 2

True or False: The Precision-Recall curve is more informative than the ROC curve when dealing with large imbalances between classes.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Recall the focus of both curves.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a highly imbalanced dataset where class A has 95% of the data while class B has only 5%. Your model returns a high accuracy but a low recall for class B. Explain the implications of these results and what you should do next.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Reflect on the value of balanced performance metrics versus overall accuracy.

Question 2

You are tasked with optimizing a model’s decision threshold based on ROC analysis. Describe the process you would use to select an optimal threshold and the factors you would consider.

πŸ’‘ Hint: What are the costs associated with misclassifications in your context?
