Questions and Answers

What is the primary goal of feature selection in predictive modeling?

  • To visualize high-dimensional data
  • To identify the most relevant features to predict a target variable (correct)
  • To increase the accuracy of the model
  • To reduce the number of features in the dataset
  • What is the purpose of ranking features based on their chi-squared scores in the filter method?

  • To eliminate the least contributing features
  • To select the top 10 features with the highest scores (correct)
  • To visualize the feature importance
  • To identify the most correlated features
  • What is the benefit of dimensionality reduction in terms of model performance?

  • It reduces the accuracy of the model
  • It has no impact on model performance
  • It increases the risk of overfitting
  • It mitigates the risk of overfitting (correct)
