Dsci 100 Final Exam

Underfitting in classification - correct answer Increased number of neighbours
means that more observations are influencing the classification. This smooths out the boundaries
between each class, so the model isn't influenced enough by the training data.



Underfitting in KNN regression - correct answer Increased K values means that more
observations are influencing the regression line, which can cause the line to become flat. Since the
regression no longer follows the training observations, accuracy in predicting training datapoints
decreases.



Overfitting in classification - correct answer Decreased number of neighbours
means that fewer observations are influencing the classification. This makes the boundaries between
classes more jagged and complex, so the model is influenced too much by the training data. The
classifier will just match new observations to the closest neighbour in the training data set, resulting in
high accuracy.



Overfitting in KNN regression - correct answer Decreased K values means that fewer
observations are influencing the regression line, which can cause the line to simply follow the training
data points. Since the regression is perfectly following the training observations, accuracy in predicting
training datapoints increases.



Creating confidence intervals - correct answer bootstrap_means |>

select(mean) |>

pull() |>

quantile(c(0.025, 0.975))



Bootstrapping (concept) - correct answer Given a single sample from a population,
you take a single observation from this sample, record it, then return it to the sample. This is sampling
with replacement. This should be repeated until the bootstrap sample is the same size as the original
sample. Now, you should be able to calculate the mean or proportion from the bootstrap sample. These
steps should be repeated many times to form a bootstrap distribution of means or proportions. This will
provide an estimate of the population parameter, and should resemble the sampling distribution
spread.

, KNN regression - correct answer - Used to infer a quantitative measurement of a
new observation based on existing observations

- Relatively simple and intuitive, doesn't require much info about the relationship in advance (can be
used on non-linear relationships), can be used for binary or multi-variable relationships

- Takes a long time for large data sets, performs poorly with many different predictors or if classes are
unbalanced

- Splits data into training and testing data

- Training data can be split further to use cross-validation, which allows you to determine the best K
value to use (determine which one has the highest accuracy)

- Regression algorithm used to predict output on the testing data and determine accuracy

- If predictions are closer to the true values, RMSPE will be smaller and vv.

- recipe, nearest_neighbour with tuning ("kknn", "regression"), vfold_cv, tibble for neighbors, workflow
with tune_grid(), collect_metrics for smallest rmse

- run workflow again with new nearest_neighbour using the determined k value, metrics(truth =
prediction variable, estimate = .pred)



Linear regression - correct answer - Used to infer a quantitative measurement of a
new observation based on existing observations

- Better for inferring outside the existing training data, more interpretable and provides an equation to
describe a relationship

- Cannot be used with non-linear relationships, more complex, can be influenced by outliers and
multicollinearity

- Splits data into training and testing data

- Regression algorithm used to predict output on the testing data and determine accuracy

- If predictions are closer to the true values, RMSPE will be smaller and vv.

- recipe, linear_reg ("lm", "regression"), workflow with fit() to output coefficients of relationship

- can extract coefficients with extract_fit_parsnip() and tidy()



KNN classification - correct answer - Used to infer the characteristic/specific
category of a new observation based on existing observations
