Study Notes
Feature Selection
- The brute force method involves evaluating all possible combinations of features.
- Recursive Feature Elimination (RFE) is a method that recursively eliminates the weakest feature until a specified number of features is reached.
Linear Regression Coefficients
- Larger coefficients (in absolute value) in linear regression indicate greater importance of the corresponding feature in predicting the target variable.
Model Evaluation
- The adjusted R-squared ($A_{adjusted R^2}$) equation is used to evaluate the goodness of fit of a model, with 'p' representing the number of predictors or features.
- Feature selection is important for a model because it helps prevent overfitting, reduces dimensionality, and improves model interpretability.
