What is the subfield of computer science that gives "computers the ability to learn without being
explicitly programmed."?

1 / 1 point

Information management

Machine learning

Computational science

Graphics and visual computing

Correct
2.
Question 2
Regression/Estimation, Classification, Clustering, and Associations are all examples of what?

1 / 1 point

Machine Learning techniques

Fuzzy Logic Systems

Neural Networks

Support Vector Machines

Correct
3.
Question 3
Which of the following is true for Multiple Linear Regression?

1 / 1 point

Observational data are modeled by a function which is a nonlinear combination of the model
parameters and depends on one or more independent variables.

Multiple independent variables are used to predict a dependent variable.

One independent variable is used to predict a dependent variable.

The relationship between the independent variable x and the dependent variable y is modeled as an
nth degree polynomial in x.

Correct
4.
Question 4
Which of the following statements are TRUE about Polynomial Regression?

1 / 1 point

Polynomial regression fits a curve line to your data.

Correct

Polynomial regression models can fit using the Least Squares method.

Correct

Polynomial regression can use the same mechanism as Multiple Linear Regression to find the
parameters.

Correct
5.
Question 5
Which of the below is a sample of classification problem?
0 / 1 point

To predict the category to which a customer belongs to.

To predict whether a customer switches to another provider/brand.

To predict whether a customer responds to a particular advertising campaign or not.

All of the above

Incorrect
6.
Question 6
Which of the following is FALSE for Logistic Regression?

0 / 1 point

Logistic regression models the relationship between two variables by fitting a linear equation to
observe data, using an explanatory variable and a dependent variable.

Logistic regression is analogous to linear regression but takes a categorical/discrete target field
instead of a numeric one.

In logistic regression, the dependent variable is binary.

Logistic regression can be used for both binary classification and multi-class classification.

Incorrect
7.
Question 7
Which of the following statements is false for k-means clustering?

1 / 1 point

None of the above.


k-means divides the data into non-overlapping clusters without any cluster-interval structure.

k-means clustering creates a tree of clusters

The object of k-means is to form clusters in such a way that similar samples go into a cluster, and
dissimilar samples fall into different clusters.

Correct
8.
Question 8
Which of the following are characteristics of DBSCAN? Select all that apply.

1 / 1 point

DBSCAN can find arbitrarily shaped clusters.

Correct

DBSCAN can find a cluster completely surrounded by a different cluster.

Correct

DBSCAN has a notion of noise, and is robust to outliers.

Correct

DBSCAN does not require one to specify the number of clusters such as k in k-means

Correct
9.
Question 9

like?

0 / 1 point

Recommender Systems

Resource Management
Industrial Simulations

Reinforcement Systems

Incorrect
