Q

Creation of Dummy Variables is considered a ___ technique

A

Transformation

24
Q

Dummy variables are…

A

a numerical equivalent to categorical variables

25
Q

If you have 3 or more categories to convert to a number, it is better to introduce a dummy variable than a scale to avoid…

A

introducing bias

26
Q

What is the limiting assumption of PCA

A

It is based on covariance, which is the linear statistical variation between 2 variables. The variables could have a more complex/nonlinear correlation in reality

27
Q

Covariance is…

A

the linear statistical variation between 2 variables

28
Q

What are some ML techniques that have built-in feature selection

A

Decision/Regression trees and Linear regression

29
Q

What is a disadvantage of feature selection

A

You’re still losing information

30
Q

What are 3 types of importance measures used for feature selection

A
  • Filter (select features in pre-processing, train on your selection)
  • Wrapper (train on a subset, then add or remove iteratively)
  • Embedded (integrated into learning process, ex Trees)
31
Q

What is the simplest importance measure to use for feature selection

A

Linear statistical importance - squared correlation

32
Q

“Feature Importance” means

A

assigning a numerical importance value to each feature

33
Q

When using squared correlation technique for feature importance, you could drop (input) features that…

A

show a very weak correlation to your target value (output) - ex 6.3

34
Q

Cross Validation can produce more _ models, while ensemble typically has the goal of more _ models

A

Robust, accurate

35
Q

One technique for Cross Validation is

Q

CART stands for

A

classification and regression trees
