Yubi Data Scientist Interview Questions and Answers

Q1. Common ways to evaluate Time Series model
Ans. 
Common ways to evaluate Time Series model include AIC, BIC, RMSE, MAE, ACF, PACF, etc.
• Use Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) and Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) to compare models

• Calculate Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) and Mean Absolute Error (MAE) to assess model accuracy

• Analyze Autocorrelation Function (ACF) and Partial Autocorrelation Function (PACF) to check for autocorrelation in residuals

Q2. Best ways to handle multicollinearity
Ans. 
Use techniques like feature selection, regularization, PCA, and VIF to handle multicollinearity.
• Perform feature selection to choose the most relevant variables for the model.

• Apply regularization techniques like Lasso or Ridge regression to penalize high coefficients.

• Utilize Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to reduce dimensionality and decorrelate variables.

• Check for Variance Inflation Factor (VIF) to identify highly
