Q1. Given a variable, how to do Linear Regression?
Ans. 
Linear regression is a statistical method used to model the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables.
• Collect data on the variables of interest

• Plot the data to visualize the relationship between the variables

• Choose a suitable linear regression model (simple or multiple)

• Fit the model to the data using a regression algorithm (e.g. least squares)

• Evaluate the model's performance using ...read more

Q2. How Linear Regression handles noise?
Ans. 
Linear Regression minimizes noise by fitting a line that best represents the relationship between variables.
• Linear Regression minimizes the sum of squared errors between the actual data points and the predicted values on the line.

• It assumes that the noise in the data is normally distributed with a mean of zero.

• Outliers in the data can significantly impact the regression line and its accuracy.

• Regularization techniques l...read more

Q3. Solve two equations to find coefficients?
Ans. 
Use linear algebra to solve for coefficients in two equations.
• Set up the two equations with unknown coefficients

• Solve the equations simultaneously using methods like substitution or elimination

• Example: 2x + 3y = 10 and 4x - y = 5, solve for x and y

Q1. How do you define model Gini?
Ans. 
Model Gini is a measure of statistical dispersion used to evaluate the performance of classification models.
• Model Gini is calculated as twice the area between the ROC curve and the diagonal line (random model).

• It ranges from 0 (worst model) to 1 (best model), with higher values indicating better model performance.

• A Gini coefficient of 0.5 indicates a model that is no better than random guessing.

• Commonly used in credit

Q2. How to you train XG boost model
Ans. 
XGBoost model is trained by specifying parameters, splitting data into training and validation sets, fitting the model, and tuning hyperparameters.
• Specify parameters for XGBoost model such as learning rate, max depth, and number of trees

• Split data into training and validation sets using train_test_split function

• Fit the XGBoost model on training data using fit method

• Tune hyperparameters using techniques like grid search
