Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given a dataset that exhibits clear non-linear patterns, design a modeling approach addressing potential bias and variance considerations.

💡 Hint: Explore varying model complexities.

Challenge 2 Hard

Illustrate the bias-variance trade-off by producing a report of different models tested (e.g., linear, polynomial) and their performance metrics.

💡 Hint: Include visual regression plots alongside metrics.
