Practice Questions

1. Given a classification problem with input features as shown in the graph. Can we use logistic regression to
classify this dataset? Explain why/why not. If yes, draw the decision boundary.

2. With learning rate η = 0.003


 and Wold = 0.897  derive and write new updated weight Wnew using this loss
1
function equation L(x, θ) = Yactual −Ypredicted .

3. Consider the below ROC curves for datasets with different numbers of negative examples. Which model would
you prefer and why, considering the points on the curves with the same value of specificity 0.84 and sensitivity
0.5?

4. Write one example each of parametric and non-parametric algorithm.


5. You are analyzing data related to the sales of two products, Product A and Product B, over a period of 12
months. You have calculated various statistics and obtained the following results, justify your answer. 0 if not
justified
• The average monthly sales of Product A is |10,000, and the standard deviation is |1,200.
• The average monthly sales of Product B is |8,500, and the standard deviation is |900.
• The covariance between the monthly sales of Product A and Product B is |15,000.
Select all the statements below that are true:
(a) Product A and Product B have a positive relationship in sales because the covariance is positive.
(b) Product A consistently has higher sales than Product B because its average sales are higher.
(c) The standard deviation of Product A’s sales is higher than the standard deviation of Product B’s sales.
(d) The correlation between the monthly sales of Product A and Product B is -0.65.
6. For what value of K in K-means clustering algorithm, the error will be zero? Justify your answer in 1 line.
7. For the given data fit the linear regression model, find W0, W1 and predict the missing value.
