Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
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.
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.
