Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Develop a short analysis on when to prefer Ridge Regression over Lasso Regression, detailing specific circumstances and datasets.

💡 Hint: Consider datasets where all features might contribute to predictions and thus require stabilization together.

Challenge 2 Hard

Implement a full Ridge Regression workflow including data loading, preprocessing, model training, and evaluation using K-Fold Cross-Validation in Python. Provide a brief commentary on your choice of parameters and observed results.

💡 Hint: Reflect on the importance of preprocessing and hyperparameter selection in achieving optimal model performance.
