Machine Learning Quiz | Machine Learning Question and Answer for Practice

31. You observe the following while fitting a linear regression to the data: As you increase the amount of training data, the test error decreases and the training error increases. The train error is quite low (almost what you expect it to), while the test error is much higher than the train error. What do you think is the main reason behind this behavior. Choose the most probable option.

1. High variance
2. High model bias
3. High estimation bias
4. None of the above

32. A measure of goodness of fit for the estimated regression equation is the

2. mean square due to error
3. mean square due to regression
4. none of the above

33. A nearest neighbor approach is best used

1. with large-sized datasets.
2. when irrelevant attributes have been removed from the data.
3. when a generalized model of the data is desireable.
4. when an explanation of what has been found is of primary importance.

34. A regression model in which more than one independent variable is used to predict the dependent variable is called

1. a simple linear regression model
2. a multiple regression models
3. an independent model

43. Consider a binary classification problem. Suppose I have trained a model on a linearly separable training set, and now I get a new labeled data point which is correctly classified by the model, and far away from the decision boundary.

1. When my model is a perceptron and logistic regression.
2. When my model is logistic regression and Gaussian discriminant analysis.
3. When my model is an SVM.
4. When my model is a perceptron
