  • 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
