Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given a dataset with 10 predictors, some of which are correlated, describe a strategy for using Elastic Net to select features while preventing overfitting.

💡 Hint: Consider how Elastic Net allows for both shrunk coefficients and feature elimination.

Challenge 2 Hard

Create a Python script that performs Elastic Net regression on a given dataset, and utilize K-Fold cross-validation to evaluate its performance.

💡 Hint: Focus on setting up appropriate data preprocessing before the implementation.
