Q2. What is random forest, knn?
Ans. 
Random forest and KNN are machine learning algorithms used for classification and regression tasks.
• Random forest is an ensemble learning method that constructs multiple decision trees and combines their outputs to make a final prediction.

• KNN (k-nearest neighbors) is a non-parametric algorithm that classifies new data points based on the majority class of their k-nearest neighbors in the training set.

• Random forest is us...read more

Q1. When do we use PCA?
Ans. 
PCA is used to reduce the dimensionality of data by finding the most important features.
• PCA is used when dealing with high-dimensional data to reduce the number of features and avoid multicollinearity.

• It helps in visualizing data in lower dimensions while retaining as much variance as possible.

• PCA is commonly used in image processing, genetics, finance, and other fields where dimensionality reduction is needed.
