Sainsburys Data Scientist Interview Questions and Answers

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

Q1. How do you analyse outliers?
Ans. 
Outliers can be analyzed using statistical methods like Z-score, IQR, or visualization techniques like box plots.
• Calculate Z-score and identify data points with Z-score greater than a certain threshold as outliers.

• Use Interquartile Range (IQR) to detect outliers by identifying data points outside 1.5 * IQR range.

• Visualize data using box plots to identify any data points that fall outside the whiskers.

• Consider domain kn...read more
