Question 1

What is overfitting?

A model that captures only training data patterns
A model that generalizes well
A model with low training error and high test error

💡 Hint: Think of a student memorizing answers without understanding the content.

Question 2

True or False: Lasso regularization can set some coefficients to zero.

True
False

💡 Hint: Consider the difference in how Lasso and Ridge handle coefficients.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Design a comprehensive study evaluating the performance of Lasso, Ridge, and Elastic Net regression on a dataset of your choice. What metrics would you employ, and how would you compare model behaviors in terms of coefficient values?

💡 Hint: Focus on the interpretability of the coefficients alongside performance metrics.

Challenge 2 Hard

Consider a dataset with both categorical and numerical features. How would you process this data prior to applying regularization techniques? What challenges might arise?

💡 Hint: Reflect on the importance of preprocessing steps in model preparation.
