(1 Question)

  • Q1. Difference between ridge and lasso in regression
  • Ans. 

    Ridge and Lasso are regularization techniques in regression to prevent overfitting by adding penalty terms to the cost function.

    • Ridge regression adds a penalty term equivalent to the square of the magnitude of coefficients (L2 regularization).

    • Lasso regression adds a penalty term equivalent to the absolute value of the magnitude of coefficients (L1 regularization).

    • Ridge regression tends to shrink the coefficients toward...

  • Ans. 

    Interpretation of graphs in linear regression analysis

    • Perpendicular lines from error to fitted line in first graph indicate OLS using projection matrices

    • Lines parallel to y-axis from error to fitted line in second graph suggest evaluation of linear regression to y-pred - y-actual method

    • PCA could also be a possible interpretation for the second graph

  • Answered by AI
  • Q4. What does np.einsum() do
  • Ans. 

    np.einsum() performs Einstein summation on arrays.

    • Can also perform other operations like multiplication, contraction, etc.

    • Syntax: np.einsum(subscripts, *operands)

  • Answered by AI
  • Q5. How to generate random numbers using numpy, what is the difference between numpy.random.rand and numpy.random.randn
  • Ans. 

    numpy.random.rand generates random numbers from a uniform distribution, while numpy.random.randn generates random numbers from a standard normal distribution.

    • numpy.random.rand generates random numbers from a uniform distribution between 0 and 1.

    • numpy.random.randn generates random numbers from a standard normal distribution with mean 0 and standard deviation 1.

    • Example: np.random.rand(3, 2) will generate a 3x2 array of r...

  • Q6. Difference between logit and probabilities in deep learning
  • Ans. 

    Logit is the log-odds of the probability, while probabilities are the actual probabilities of an event occurring.

    • Logit is the natural logarithm of the odds ratio, used in logistic regression.

    • Probabilities are the actual likelihood of an event occurring, ranging from 0 to 1.

    • In deep learning, logit values are transformed into probabilities using a softmax function.

    • Logit values can be negative or positive, while probabili
