Q1. Isolatn forest work? evalution metrics in laymann tems , pyspark basics , job lib
Ans. 
Isolation Forest is an anomaly detection algorithm that works by isolating outliers in a dataset.
• Isolation Forest is an unsupervised machine learning algorithm used for anomaly detection.

• It works by randomly selecting a feature and then randomly selecting a split value between the maximum and minimum values of the selected feature.

• The number of splits required to isolate an outlier is used as a measure of its abnormali...read more

Q2. Query difference betweeen Group by and Partition by
Ans. 
Group by is used to group rows that have the same values into summary rows, while Partition by is used to divide the result set into partitions to which the function is applied separately.
• Group by is used with aggregate functions to group rows based on a column or set of columns.

• Partition by is used with window functions to divide the result set into partitions.

• Group by is used with SELECT statement, while Partition by...read more

Q1. What are the assumptions of a linear regression model?
Ans. 
Assumptions of a linear regression model include linearity, independence, homoscedasticity, and normality.
• Linearity: The relationship between the independent and dependent variables is linear.

• Independence: The residuals are independent of each other.

• Homoscedasticity: The variance of the residuals is constant across all levels of the independent variables.

• Normality: The residuals are normally distributed.

• No multicolline...read more

Q2. What problems does multicollinearity cause in regression analysis?
Ans. 
Multicollinearity in regression analysis causes issues like inflated standard errors, unstable coefficients, and difficulty in interpreting the importance of predictors.
• Multicollinearity leads to inflated standard errors, making it difficult to determine the significance of predictors.

• It causes unstable coefficients, as small changes in the data can result in large changes in the coefficients.

• Interpreting the importanc...read more

Q3. What are the different measures used to evaluate the performance of a classification model?
Ans. 
Different measures used to evaluate classification model performance
• Accuracy: Overall correctness of the model's predictions

• Precision: Proportion of true positive predictions among all positive predictions

• Recall: Proportion of true positive predictions among all actual positives

• F1 Score: Harmonic mean of precision and recall

• Confusion Matrix: Summarizes the performance of a classification model

Q4. What are the disadvantages of logistic regression?
Ans. 
Disadvantages of logistic regression
• Assumes linearity between independent variables and log odds of the dependent variable

• Prone to overfitting with large number of features

• Not suitable for complex relationships or non-linear data

• Can't handle missing values well
