Task 1: Data Preprocessing and Exploration
Load the Iris dataset, perform basic data preprocessing, and conduct exploratory data
analysis.
python
Copy code
import pandas as pd
import seaborn as sns
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
# Load the Iris dataset
data = pd.read_csv('iris.csv')
# Display the first few rows of the dataset
print(data.head())
# Check for missing values
print(data.isnull().sum())
# Perform basic statistical analysis
print(data.describe())
# Visualize the pairwise relationships between features
sns.pairplot(data, hue='Species')
plt.show()

B) 5
C) 10
D) 20
Answer: ??
Task 2: Training a Logistic Regression Model
Train a logistic regression model to classify the Iris species and evaluate its performance.
python
Copy code

from sklearn.linear_model import LogisticRegression
from sklearn.metrics import accuracy_score, classification_report, confusion_matrix
# Prepare the features and target variable
X = data[['SepalLengthCm', 'SepalWidthCm', 'PetalLengthCm', 'PetalWidthCm']]
y = data['Species']
# Split the data into training and testing sets
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.2, random_state=42)
# Train the logistic regression model
model = LogisticRegression(max_iter=200)
model.fit(X_train, y_train)
# Predict on the test set
y_pred = model.predict(X_test)
# Evaluate the model
accuracy = accuracy_score(y_test, y_pred)
print(f'Accuracy: {accuracy}')
print('Classification Report:')
print(classification_report(y_test, y_pred))
print('Confusion Matrix:')
print(confusion_matrix(y_test, y_pred))

C) Around 0.90
D) Around 1.00
Answer: ??
Task 3: Hyperparameter Tuning with k-NN
Perform hyperparameter tuning on a k-NN model to find the optimal value of k using cross-
validation.
Python
from sklearn.neighbors import KNeighborsClassifier
from sklearn.model_selection import cross_val_score
# Define the range of k values to try
k_values = range(1, 21)
accuracy_scores = []
# Perform cross-validation for each k value
for k in k_values:
knn = KNeighborsClassifier(n_neighbors=k)
scores = cross_val_score(knn, X_train, y_train, cv=5, scoring='accuracy')
accuracy_scores.append(scores.mean())
# Plot accuracy for different values of k
plt.plot(k_values, accuracy_scores, marker='o')
plt.xlabel('k')
plt.ylabel('Cross-Validated Accuracy')
plt.title('k-NN Varying k')
plt.show()
Question: What is the optimal value of k based on cross-validation?
A) 1
B) 3
C) 5
D) 10
Answer: ??
Task 4: Evaluating k-NN Model Performance
Evaluate the performance of the k-NN model with the optimal value of k.
python
Copy code
# Train the k-NN model with the optimal value of k (assume k=5)
knn = KNeighborsClassifier(n_neighbors=5)
knn.fit(X_train, y_train)
# Predict on the test set
y_pred_knn = knn.predict(X_test)
# Evaluate the model
accuracy_knn = accuracy_score(y_test, y_pred_knn)
print(f'Accuracy: {accuracy_knn}')
print('Classification Report:')
print(classification_report(y_test, y_pred_knn))
print('Confusion Matrix:')
print(confusion_matrix(y_test, y_pred_knn))
