Applied Machine Learning in Python week1 quiz answers
These solutions are for reference only.
It is recommended that you should solve the assignments amd quizes by yourself honestly then only it makes sense to complete the course.
but if you are stuck in between refer these solutions
make sure you understand the solution
dont just copy paste it

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Clustering
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5。
Using the data for classes 0, 1, and 2 plotted below, what class
would a KNeighborsClassifier classify the new point as for k = 1 and
k = 3?
• k=1: Class 2
• k=3: Class 1
• k=1: Class 1
• k=3: Class 0
• k=1: Class 0
• k=3: Class 1
• k=1: Class 1
• k=3: Class 2
• k=1: Class 0
• k=3: Class 2
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6。
Which of the following is true for the nearest neighbor classifier
(Select all that apply):
A higher value of k leads to a more complex decision
boundary
Partitions observations into k clusters where each
observation belongs to the cluster with the nearest mean
Memorizes the entire training set
Given a data instance to classify, computes the
probability of each possible class using a statistical
model of the input features
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7。
Why is it important to examine your dataset as a first step in
applying machine learning? (Select all that apply):
See what type of cleaning or preprocessing still needs to
be done
You might notice missing data
Gain insight on what machine learning model might be
appropriate, if any
Get a sense for how difficult the problem might be
It is not important
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8。
The key purpose of splitting the dataset into training and test sets
is:
To estimate how well the learned model will generalize
to new data
To reduce the amount of labelled data needed for
evaluating classifier accuracy
To reduce the number of features we need to consider
as input to the learning algorithm
To speed up the training process
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9。
The purpose of setting the random_state parameter in
train_test_split is: (Select all that apply)
To avoid predictable splitting of the data
To make experiments easily reproducible by always
using the same partitioning of the data
To avoid bias in data splitting
To split the data into similar subsets so that bias is not
introduced into the final results
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10。
