Machine Learning - Exploring The Model

The document discusses key concepts in machine learning including: - Input variables are also known as feature variables, while output variables are known as the target variable. - The learning rate controls the magnitude of steps taken during gradient descent to minimize the cost function. - Linear regression aims to find the best fitting linear relationship between features and target to make predictions, while classification problems predict discrete class labels. - Overfitting occurs when a model learns the details and noise in the training data too well, resulting in poor performance on new data.

function. - false

How are the parameters updates during Gradient Descent Process ? -- simultaneously

What is the name of the function that takes the input and maps it to the output
variable called ? -- hypothesis function

called ? --mean normalisation

Cost function in linear regression is also called squared error function. - true

The objective function for linear regression is also known as Cost Function -- true

Problems that predict real values outputs are called ? -- Regression Problems

What is the process of dividing each feature by its range called -- feature scaling

A suggested approach for evaluating the hypothesis is to split the data into
training and test set -- true

sigmoid

What is the range of the output values for a sigmoid function ? --- [0,1]

Where does the sigmoid function asymptote ? 0,1

For _____________ the error is calculated by finding the sum of squared distance
between actual and predicted values -- regression
For ______________ the error is determined by getting the proportion of values

I have a scenario where my hypothesis fits my training set well but fails to
generalize for test set. What is this scenario called ? --overfitting

Reducing the number of features can reduce overfitting - true

Overfit data has a high bias - false

Problems where discrete valued outputs predicted are called ? -- Classification


Problems

Lower Decision boundary leads to False Positives during classification --true

Overfiting and Underfitting are applicable only to linear regression problems --


false

======================

What measures the extent to which the predictions change between various
realizations of the model ? --variance

What measure how far the predictions are from the actual values -- bias

For an overfit data set the cross validation error will be much bigger than the
