Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a dataset with 500 features, you want to reduce it down to a more manageable number while retaining as much variance as possible. Explain how you would use PCA for this task, including key steps.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Start by considering the necessity of standardization and covariance.

Question 2

Consider the case of anomaly detection in a dataset with many varied features. Decide whether you would prefer feature selection or extraction to enhance performance. Justify your answer.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about the nature of the data and the desired outcomes.
