Q1. 1. diff between acf pacf
Ans. 
ACF measures the linear relationship between an observation and its lagged values. PACF measures the direct relationship.
• ACF (Autocorrelation Function) measures the correlation between an observation and its lagged values.

• PACF (Partial Autocorrelation Function) measures the correlation between an observation and its lagged values, while removing the indirect effects of intermediate lags.

• ACF is used to identify the orde...read more

Q2. Explain what are GANs?
Ans. 
GANs are Generative Adversarial Networks, a type of deep learning model consisting of two neural networks - a generator and a discriminator.
• GANs are used to generate new data samples that resemble a given dataset.

• The generator network creates fake data samples, while the discriminator network tries to distinguish between real and fake samples.

• The two networks are trained simultaneously in a competitive manner, improvin...read more
