- b) It enables the chaining of multiple preprocessing steps and model training into a single workflow.
- c) It reduces the memory usage of large datasets by compressing them.
- d) It automatically tunes hyperparameters for machine learning models.
Question 7: Data Leakage in Machine Learning Pipelines
What is data leakage, and why is it a problem when building machine learning models?
- a) It refers to the unnecessary duplication of data during model training, causing high memory usage.
- b) It occurs when the model is allowed to see or learn from test data during training, leading to overly optimistic results.
- c) It happens when features are missing from the dataset, reducing the model's accuracy.
- d) It refers to data corruption that happens when datasets are improperly loaded into memory.
Question 8: Memory Optimization in Pandas
What is the benefit of downcasting numerical data types in Pandas?
- a) It increases the precision of calculations.
- b) It reduces the memory footprint of large datasets.
- c) It allows Pandas to store string data types more efficiently.
- d) It automatically converts numerical columns into categorical columns.
Question 9: Creating Interaction Features
In feature engineering, how would you create an interaction feature between PurchaseAmount and Discount using Pandas and NumPy?
a)
df['Interaction'] = df['PurchaseAmount'] + df['Discount']b)
df['Interaction'] = df['PurchaseAmount'] * df['Discount']c)
df['Interaction'] = df['PurchaseAmount'] / df['Discount']d)
df['Interaction'] = np.add(df['PurchaseAmount'], df['Discount'])Question 10: Resampling Time Series Data
When working with time series data in Pandas, how would you resample daily data to monthly data and calculate the total sales for each month?
a)
df.resample('M').sum()b)
df.resample('D').sum('M')c)
df.resample('W').groupby('M').sum()d)
df.groupby('M').resample('D').sum()These questions cover the key topics from Part 1: Setting the Stage for Advanced Analysis. By answering them, you can evaluate your understanding of advanced data manipulation with Pandas, performance optimization with NumPy, and efficient workflow creation with Scikit-learn. Keep practicing, and don’t hesitate to revisit the chapters if needed!
