Q2. Count all pairs of numbers from a list where the ending digit of the ith number equals the starting digit of the jth number. Example [122, 21, 21, 23] should have 5 pairs (122, 21), (122, 21), (122, 23), (...read more
Ans. 
Count pairs of numbers where ending digit of ith number equals starting digit of jth number.
• Iterate through each pair of numbers in the list

• Check if the ending digit of the ith number equals the starting digit of the jth number

• Increment the count if the condition is met

Q3. Interpretation of graphs, the first graph had perpendicular lines from the error to the fitted line and the second graph had lines from the error to the fitted line, parallel to the y-axis. - Interpreted t...read more
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

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...read more

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

Q1. Palindrome of a number
Ans. 
A palindrome of a number is a number that remains the same when its digits are reversed.
• To check if a number is a palindrome, reverse the number and compare it with the original number.

• Examples: 121 is a palindrome, 123 is not a palindrome.

Q1. How can Logistic regression be applied for multiclasstext classification
Ans. 
Logistic regression can be applied for multiclasstext classification by using one-vs-rest or softmax approach.
• One-vs-rest approach: Train a binary logistic regression model for each class, treating it as the positive class and the rest as the negative class.

• Softmax approach: Use the softmax function to transform the output of the logistic regression into probabilities for each class.

• Evaluate the model using appropriate...read more
