Q1. What is the difference between linear and classification?
Ans. 
Linear regression is used for predicting continuous values, while classification is used for predicting discrete values.
• Linear regression is used when the output variable is continuous, such as predicting house prices based on features like size and location.

• Classification is used when the output variable is categorical, such as predicting whether an email is spam or not based on its content.

• Linear regression aims to f...read more

Q2. Explain example of outlier
Ans. 
An outlier is a data point that differs significantly from other data points in a dataset.
• Outliers can skew statistical analyses and machine learning models.

• Examples of outliers include a person's weight being recorded as 1000 lbs, when the average weight is around 150 lbs.

• Outliers can be detected using statistical methods like Z-score or IQR.

Q3. Explain k mean algorithm
Ans. 
K-means algorithm is a clustering technique that partitions data into k clusters based on similarity.
• Divides data points into k clusters based on centroids

• Iteratively assigns data points to the nearest centroid and updates centroids

• Continues until centroids no longer change significantly

• Example: Grouping customers based on purchasing behavior

Q4. Explain the metrics for classification
Ans. 
Classification metrics are used to evaluate the performance of a classification model.
• Accuracy: measures the proportion of correctly classified instances out of total instances

• Precision: measures the proportion of true positive predictions out of all positive predictions

• Recall: measures the proportion of true positive predictions out of all actual positive instances

• F1 Score: harmonic mean of precision and recall, balan...read more

Q1. What is difference between lstm and rnn
Ans. 
LSTM is a type of RNN that addresses the vanishing gradient problem by using memory cells.
• RNN stands for Recurrent Neural Network, a type of neural network that processes sequential data.

• LSTM stands for Long Short-Term Memory, a type of RNN that includes memory cells to retain information over long sequences.

• LSTM is designed to overcome the vanishing gradient problem, which occurs when training RNNs on long sequences.

• L...read more

Q1. What are different evaluation matrix ?
Ans. 
Evaluation matrices are used to assess the performance of models in data science.
• Confusion matrix: used to evaluate the performance of classification models.

• Precision, recall, and F1 score: measures for binary classification models.

• Mean squared error (MSE): evaluates the performance of regression models.

• R-squared: assesses the goodness of fit for regression models.

• Area under the ROC curve (AUC-ROC): evaluates the perfo...read more
