Interactive Quizzes

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

Question 1

What is a key advantage of GMMs compared to K-Means?

  • GMMs always use spherical clusters.
  • GMMs assign probabilities to data points instead of strict cluster memberships.
  • GMMs require labeled data.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how uniquely each method categorizes data points.

Question 2

True or False: PCA is used primarily for data visualization rather than noise reduction.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Recall the dual objectives of PCA.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You have a dataset with features that are highly correlated. Describe why feature extraction might be a better approach than feature selection in this scenario.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about the impact of correlation among features on interpretation.

Question 2

Given a high-dimensional dataset with clear, non-spherical clusters, would you select GMM or K-Means? Justify your choice.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider the nature of the cluster shapes in your decision.
