Which evaluation metric measures the average squared difference between
predicted and actual values in regression models.
⎯ Accuracy
⎯ Recall
⎯ Mean Squared Error
⎯ Precision
⎯ Confusion Matrix
⎯ Sensitivity
⎯ Mean Squared Error
Mean Squared Error (MSE) quantifies prediction error by squaring the differences
between predicted and actual values and averaging them.
Select the main purpose of Cross Validation in predictive modeling.
⎯ Increase training dataset size
⎯ Evaluate model performance on unseen data
⎯ Remove noise from the dataset
⎯ Convert categorical variables
⎯ Replace missing values

⎯ Improve clustering
⎯ Evaluate model performance on unseen data
Cross validation splits the data into multiple training and testing folds to estimate
how well a model generalizes to new data.
Select the algorithm that predicts outcomes based on similarity to nearby
observations.
⎯ Linear Regression
⎯ Logistic Regression
⎯ K-Nearest Neighbors
⎯ Principal Component Analysis
⎯ K-Means Clustering
⎯ Decision Tree
⎯ K-Nearest Neighbors
KNN classifies or predicts values by examining the most similar data points in the
training dataset.
Select the assumption of Linear Regression that states error terms should have
constant variance.
⎯ Independence
⎯ Homoscedasticity
⎯ Linearity
⎯ Multicollinearity

⎯ Normal distribution
⎯ Sampling bias
⎯ Homoscedasticity
Homoscedasticity means the variance of residual errors is constant across all
predicted values.
Select the modeling method primarily used to group similar observations without
labeled outcomes.
⎯ Logistic Regression
⎯ Linear Regression
⎯ Clustering
⎯ Classification
⎯ Feature Selection
⎯ Forecasting
⎯ Clustering
Clustering is an unsupervised learning method used to identify natural groupings
in data.
Select the parameter in K-Nearest Neighbors that determines how many
neighbors influence a prediction.
⎯ Alpha
⎯ Lambda
⎯ K
