Q5. The Least Square Regression is a statistical procedure to find the best fit for a set of data points.
Which of the following statements express the basic idea of the best fit or the Least-square
regression line?
A. Minimizing the sum of the offsets or residuals of points from the plotted curve.
B. The intercept of the least-squares regression line describes some specific property of the
data.
C. The slope of the regression line describes how much we expect the dependent variable to
change, on average, for every unit change in the independent variable.
D. Least-squares regression line is the line that makes the sum of the squares of the vertical
distances of the data points from the line as small as possible.

the following:

A. Compactness for intra-cluster cohesion.


B. Isolation for inter-cluster separation.
C. Comparison with the correct clusters.
D. Labelled data as ground truth for cluster evaluation through classification.

Q7. What is feature scaling or standardization?


A. It basically helps to normalize the data within a particular range.
B. It is about using transforms on variables to make their distribution more gaussian.
C. It is a step of data pre-processing which is applied to features of data.
D. It basically helps to use the least-squares regression equation.

Q8. Assertion: One of the rules of thumb for preparation of data when using ordinary Least
Squares Regression is to remove collinearity.
Reason: Linear regression will over-fit the data when we have highly correlated input
variables.

Mark the correct choice as


A. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation for A
B. Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation for A
C. A is True but R is False
D. A is false but R is True

Ans: Question based on Week 11 (Lecture 1) Videos


Q9. Assertion: A cluster is a collection of data items which are “similar” between them, and
“dissimilar” to data items in other clusters.
Reason: In clustering problems, class labels are not specified; only the feature vectors
representing different objects/instances/ records or situations are known.

Mark the correct choice as


A. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation for A
B. Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation for A
C. A is True but R is False
D. A is false but R is True

Ans: Question based on Week 11 (Lecture 3) Videos

Q10. Assertion: The kernel trick is an efficient way to transform data into higher dimensions.
Reason: The kernel trick allows us to project data from a training set which isn't linearly
separable into a higher dimensional space where it becomes linearly separable.

Mark the correct choice as


A. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation for A
B. Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation for A
C. A is True but R is False
D. A is false but R is True
