    In Curse of Dimensionality, when dimensionality increases, data becomes increasingly sparse in the space that it occupies.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    As the dimensionality increases, the volume of the space also increases exponentially. However, the number of data points available remains limited. This leads to the data points being spread thinly across the high-dimensional space, resulting in sparsity. This phenomenon is known as the curse of dimensionality, where the data becomes increasingly sparse as the dimensionality increases. Therefore, the given statement is true.

    The answer provided lists the types of sampling methods. Random sampling refers to the selection of individuals from a population in a way that each individual has an equal chance of being chosen. Without replacement means that once an individual is selected, they are not put back into the population for future selection. With replacement means that individuals are put back into the population after selection, allowing them to be chosen again. Stratified sampling involves dividing the population into subgroups or strata and then selecting individuals from each stratum. Simplified sampling is not a recognized type of sampling, so it is not included in the explanation.

    What are some technique and approach to the Feature Subset Selection:

    • Dictionary Hack Approach

    • Dynamic brute force approach

    • Brute force approach

    • Embedded approach

    • Filter approach

    • Wrapper approaches:

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Brute force approach
    A. Embedded approach
    A. Filter approach
    A. Wrapper approaches:
    Explanation
    The brute force approach involves evaluating all possible combinations of features to find the best subset. This can be computationally expensive for large feature sets. The embedded approach incorporates feature selection as part of the model building process. It selects features based on their importance in the model. The filter approach selects features based on their statistical properties, such as correlation with the target variable. Wrapper approaches use a specific model and evaluate different subsets of features by training and testing the model. They select the subset that gives the best performance.

    Proximity refers to a ____________ and ___________

    Correct Answer(s)
    similarity, dissimilarity
    Explanation
    Proximity refers to the closeness or nearness of two or more things. In this context, it refers to the degree of similarity or dissimilarity between these things. When two things have a high degree of similarity, they are considered to be close or proximate to each other. On the other hand, when two things have a high degree of dissimilarity, they are considered to be far or distant from each other. Therefore, proximity can be understood as a measure of both similarity and dissimilarity between objects or concepts.

    Feature Subset Selection consists of which of the following:

    • Another way to reduce the dimensionality of data

    • Redundant features

    • Irrelevant Features

    • Techniques

    • Systems Approach

    • Logic View

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Another way to reduce the dimensionality of data
    A. Redundant features
    A. Irrelevant Features
    A. Techniques
    Explanation
    Feature Subset Selection is a technique used to reduce the dimensionality of data by selecting a subset of relevant features while discarding redundant and irrelevant ones. It involves identifying features that are highly correlated or redundant, as well as features that do not contribute significantly to the prediction or analysis. This process helps in improving the efficiency of machine learning models, reducing overfitting, and enhancing interpretability. Therefore, the correct answer includes "Another way to reduce the dimensionality of data," "Redundant features," "Irrelevant Features," and "Techniques."
