(unit? 5) Identify the correct statement(s) in context of overfitting in decision trees:

X Statement I: The idea of Pre-pruning is to stop tree induction before a fully grown tree is built,
Parallel K-
means using that perfectly fits the training data.

Assignment-6 1. Increase in K will result in higher time required to cross validate the result.

(assessment? 2. Higher values of K will result in higher confidence on the cross-validation result as
name=97) compared to lower value of K.

3. If K=N, then it is called Leave one out cross validation, where N is the number of

8) Identify the correct statement(s) in context of machine learning approaches:

X Statement I: In supervised approaches, the target that the model is predicting is unknown or
unavailable. This means that you have unlabeled data.

Statement II: In unsupervised approaches the target, which is what the model is predicting, is
provided. This is referred to as having labeled data because the target is labeled for every
sample that you have in your data set.

Only Statement I is true

Only Statement II is true

Both Statements are false

Both Statements are true

You may submit any number of times before the due date. The final submission will be
considered for grading.
