Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

You have a dataset with 100 features to predict housing prices. Describe how you would implement Lasso regression to determine which features are most influential, including the surrogate steps.

💡 Hint: Consider how each step contributes to feature selection.

Challenge 2 Hard

Given an imbalanced dataset for classification, discuss how Stratified K-Fold cross-validation might improve your results compared to K-Fold in the context of a Lasso regression model.

💡 Hint: Reflect on the impact of class imbalance on model performance.
