RMSE
R2
Mean absolute error
Mean squared error

Which of the following variations of gradient descent can be implemented with SGDClassifier?

Q5MCQ2 marks

Consider the Ridge regression model in scikit-learn, represented by the Ridge class. Which of the following statements about Ridge regression is correct?

Ridge regression is designed to handle class imbalance of the dataset.
The regularization term in Ridge regression is added to the sum of absoluteresiduals.
Increasing the value of the regularization parameter (alpha) in Ridgeregression makes the model less sensitive to high-magnitude coefficients.
Ridge regression is equivalent to Lasso regression when the regularizationparameter (alpha) is set to zero.

Q6MCQ2 marks

Which of the following method is used to estimate the probabilities in SGD-Classifier with suitable loss?

Q7MCQ2 marks

Faster to compute the list of neighbors on scaled data.
k-nearest neighbors is based on computing some distances. Features need tobe normalized to contribute approximately equally to the distance computation.
Scaling the data has a negligible effect on k-nearest neighbor’s performance,but it enhances the interpretability of the model.
This is irrelevant. One could use k-nearest neighbors without normalizing thedataset and get a very similar cross-validation score.

Q8MCQ2 marks

When using CountVectorizer in scikit-learn, what does the max_features parameter control?

The maximum number of documents considered during vectorization.
The maximum number of features (words) to be extracted based on termfrequency.
The maximum number of randomly selected features (words).
The maximum number of characters allowed in each document.

Increasing the value of min_samples_split
Increasing the value of the pruning parameter
Increasing the value of min_samples_leaf
Increasing the depth of the tree

Q17MCQ3 marks

You’re building an ‘MLPClassifier‘ for a dataset with a large number of features. The goal is to predict whether a patient is going to have parkinson disease in next 12 months. You’re trying to decide the appropriate number of neurons in the hidden layers of the neural network. Which statement about adjusting the hidden_layer_sizes parameter is correct?

Increasing the number of neurons in hidden layers will always lead to bettermodel performance.
Decreasing the number of neurons in hidden layers reduces the model’scapacity to capture complex patterns.
The number of neurons in hidden layers does not significantly affect themodel’s performance.
Finding the optimal number of neurons is a trial-and-error process and mayrequire experimentation.
