Applied Machine Learning in Python week2 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
answers are in green colour

1。
After training a ridge regression model, you find the the training
and test set accuracies are 0.98 and 0.54 respectively. Which of the
following would be the best choice for the next ridge regression
model you train?
You are overfitting, the next model trained should have a
lower value for alpha
You are overfitting, the next model trained should have a
higher value for alpha
You are underfitting, the next model trained should have
a lower value for alpha
You are underfitting, the next model trained should have
a higher value for alpha
