10 Interview questions

A Data Scientist was asked 7mo ago
Q. What is the difference between GROUP BY and PARTITION BY clauses in SQL?
Ans. 

Group by is used to group rows that have the same values into summary rows, while Partition by is used to divide the result set into partitions to which the function is applied separately.

  • Group by is used with aggregate functions to group rows based on a column or set of columns.

  • Partition by is used with window functions to divide the result set into partitions.

  • Group by is used with SELECT statement, while Partiti...

A Data Scientist was asked
Q. What is the effect of multicollinearity in regression analysis?
Ans. 

Multicollinearity in regression analysis affects the accuracy and interpretability of the model.

  • Multicollinearity occurs when two or more independent variables are highly correlated.

  • It leads to unstable and unreliable estimates of regression coefficients.

  • It reduces the precision of the estimates and increases the standard errors.

  • It makes it difficult to interpret the individual effects of the independent variables...

A Data Scientist was asked
Q. What are the assumptions of linear regression?
Ans. 

Assumptions of linear regression

  • Linear relationship between independent and dependent variables

  • Homoscedasticity (constant variance) of errors

  • Independence of errors

  • Normal distribution of errors

  • No multicollinearity among independent variables

A Data Scientist was asked
Q. Isolatn forest work? evalution metrics in laymann tems , pyspark basics , job lib
Ans. 

Isolation Forest is an anomaly detection algorithm that works by isolating outliers in a dataset.

  • Isolation Forest is an unsupervised machine learning algorithm used for anomaly detection.

  • It works by randomly selecting a feature and then randomly selecting a split value between the maximum and minimum values of the selected feature.

  • The number of splits required to isolate an outlier is used as a measure of its abno...

A Data Scientist was asked 7mo ago
Q. Difference between Data Warehouse, Data Lakes and Tables
Ans. 

Data Warehouse stores structured data for reporting and analysis, Data Lakes store raw and unstructured data, Tables are basic data structures.

  • Data Warehouse is used for storing structured data from various sources for reporting and analysis.

  • Data Lakes store raw and unstructured data in its native format for future processing and analysis.

  • Tables are basic data structures used to organize and store data in a struct...

A Data Scientist was asked
Q. What are the different measures used to evaluate the performance of a classification model?
Ans. 

Different measures used to evaluate classification model performance

  • Accuracy: Overall correctness of the model's predictions

  • Precision: Proportion of true positive predictions among all positive predictions

  • Recall: Proportion of true positive predictions among all actual positives

  • F1 Score: Harmonic mean of precision and recall

  • Confusion Matrix: Summarizes the performance of a classification model

Are these interview questions helpful?
A Data Scientist was asked
Q. What are the assumptions of a linear regression model?
Ans. 

Assumptions of a linear regression model include linearity, independence, homoscedasticity, and normality.

  • Linearity: The relationship between the independent and dependent variables is linear.

  • Independence: The residuals are independent of each other.

  • Homoscedasticity: The variance of the residuals is constant across all levels of the independent variables.

  • Normality: The residuals are normally distributed.

  • No multico...

A Data Scientist was asked
Q. What are the disadvantages of logistic regression?
Ans. 

Disadvantages of logistic regression

  • Assumes linearity between independent variables and log odds of the dependent variable

  • Prone to overfitting with large number of features

  • Not suitable for complex relationships or non-linear data

  • Can't handle missing values well

A Data Scientist was asked
Q. What problems does multicollinearity cause in regression analysis?
Ans. 

Multicollinearity in regression analysis causes issues like inflated standard errors, unstable coefficients, and difficulty in interpreting the importance of predictors.

  • Multicollinearity leads to inflated standard errors, making it difficult to determine the significance of predictors.

  • It causes unstable coefficients, as small changes in the data can result in large changes in the coefficients.

  • Interpreting the impo...

Interview Tips & Stories

a team lead
Why are women still asked such personal questions in interview?
I recently went for an interview… and honestly, m still trying to process what just happened. Instead of being asked about my skills, experience, or how I could add value to the company… the questions took a totally unexpected turn. The interviewer started asking things like When are you getting married? Are you engaged? And m sure, if I had said I was married, the next question would’ve been How long have you been married? What does my personal life have to do with the job m applying for? This is where I felt the gender discrimination hit hard. These types of questions are so casually thrown at women during interviews but are they ever asked to men? No one asks male candidates if they’re planning a wedding or how old their kids are. So why is it okay to ask women? Can we please stop normalising this kind of behaviour in interviews? Our careers shouldn’t be judged by our relationship status. Period.
