Questions and Answers

In the context of the text, what is the main lesson learned from using fish length as a discriminating feature?

  • Fish length in combination with lightness provides the best classification results
  • Fish length is not a reliable feature for accurate classification
  • Fish length should be used in conjunction with other features for accurate classification (correct)
  • Fish length alone is sufficient for accurate classification

    • What is the primary issue with using a complicated decision boundary for classification?

  • It results in a high level of generalization on the testing data
  • It leads to significant overfitting of the training data (correct)
  • It simplifies the classification process and leads to inaccurate results
  • It ensures accurate classification on new and unseen data

    • What can be concluded from the classification error of 4% when using both length and lightness features?

  • The features provide an ideal decision boundary
  • The features result in a higher error rate compared to using only one feature
  • The features are not useful for accurate classification
  • The features complement each other and improve the classification accuracy (correct)

    • What does the term 'overfitting' refer to in the context of the text?
