Questions and Answers

What is the main purpose of resampling methods in statistics?

  • To reduce the computational requirements of fitting statistical models
  • To decrease the variability of a linear regression fit
  • To fit a model of interest once on the training set
  • To draw samples from a training set and refit a model to obtain additional information (correct)
  • Why can resampling approaches be computationally expensive?

  • Because they use the original training sample multiple times
  • Because they involve fitting the same statistical method multiple times using different subsets of the training data (correct)
  • Due to recent advances in computing power
  • Because they involve fitting the statistical method only once
  • What type of information can be obtained from resampling methods that would not be available from fitting the model only once using the original training sample?

  • Information about the mean of the data points
  • Information about outliers in the data
  • Information about the intercept of a linear regression model
  • Information about the variability of the fitted model (correct)
  • Why are cross-validation and bootstrap considered important tools in statistical learning procedures?
