ISYE 6414 Final Exam Questions and answers. 100% Accurate. Graded A+ 1. If there are variables that need to be used to control the bias selection in the model, they should forced to be in the model and not being part of the variable selection process. - -True 2. Penalization in linear regression models means penalizing for complex models, that is, models with a large number of predictors. - -True 3. Elastic net regression uses both penalties of the ridge and lasso regression and hence combines the benefits of both. - -True 4. Variable selection can be applied to regression problems when the number of pre- dicting variables is larger than the number of observations. - -True 5. The lasso regression performs well under multicollineariy. - -False 6. The selected variables using best subset regression are the best ones in explaining and predicting the response variables. - -False 8. The lasso regression requires a numerical algorithm to minimize the penalized sum of least squares. - -True 9. An unbiased estimator of the prediction risk is the training risk. - -False 10. Backward and forward stepwise regression will generally provide different sets of selected variables when p, the number of predicting variables, is large. - -True 11. All regularized regression approaches can be used for variable selection. - -False 12. Before performing regularized regression, we need to standardize or rescale the pre- dicting variables. - -True 13. The larger the number of predicting variables is, the larger the bias but the smaller the variance is. - -False
