Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Never believe Deloitte Company. HR would give promises after finishing the HR round which is the last round in most of the companies. Later, they scheduled another round immediately without informing prior and informed that you got rejected after that round.
The candidate gave a counteroffer letter to HR and HR was fully aware of the joining date in that company. But still, HR made a promise on the phone she would give the offer letter a day or two days after the final round ie, HR. The next day HR called me to go through another round with the director and later said you got rejected. The candidate rejected the counteroffer letter and listened to the words of Deloitte HR's promise. So never believe these HR representatives of Deloitte, they will make you go jobless. Very PATHETIC experience. BEWARE OF SUCH FRAUDSTERS.

Round 1 - One-on-one 

(4 Questions)

  • Q1. What is MLE in logistic regression?
  • Ans. 

    MLE is a method used to estimate the parameters of a logistic regression model.

    • MLE stands for Maximum Likelihood Estimation

    • It is used to estimate the parameters of a logistic regression model

    • The goal is to find the values of the parameters that maximize the likelihood of observing the data

    • The likelihood function is the product of the probabilities of observing each data point given the model parameters

    • The optimization ...

  • Q2. Explain logistic regression
  • Ans. 

    Logistic regression is a statistical method used to analyze and model the relationship between a binary dependent variable and one or more independent variables.

    • It is used for classification problems where the dependent variable is binary

    • It estimates the probability of an event occurring based on the input variables

    • It uses a sigmoid function to map the input values to a probability score

    • It is a linear model that uses m...

  • Answered by AI
  • Q3. Assumptions of logistic regression
  • Ans. 

    Assumptions of logistic regression

    • Dependent variable is binary

    • Linear relationship between independent and log odds

    • No multicollinearity among independent variables

    • No outliers or influential observations

    • Large sample size

  • Answered by AI
  • Q4. How do you measure accuracy of document classification?
  • Ans. 

    Accuracy of document classification can be measured using metrics like precision, recall, F1 score, and confusion matrix.

    • Precision measures the proportion of true positives among all predicted positives.

    • Recall measures the proportion of true positives among all actual positives.

    • F1 score is the harmonic mean of precision and recall.

    • Confusion matrix shows the number of true positives, true negatives, false positives, and...
