point as for k = 1 and k = 3?

k=1: Class 1
k=3: Class 0

k=1: Class 0
k=3: Class 1

k=1: Class 2
k=3: Class 1

k=1: Class 0
k=3: Class 2

k=1: Class 1
k=3: Class 2

6. Which of the following would *not* be something you specify for a nearest neighbor classifier algorithm? 1 point

The number of initial clusters to create from the training set

How many nearest neighbors to examine

A distance metric that finds neighbor points in the training set

An optional weighting function on the neighbor points

A method for pooling the classes of neighbor points to make a final classification decision

7. Why is it important to examine your dataset as a first step in applying machine learning? (Select all that apply): 1 point

See what type of cleaning or preprocessing still needs to be done

You might notice missing data

Gain insight on what machine learning model might be appropriate, if any

Get a sense for how difficult the problem might be

It is not important

8. The key purpose of splitting the dataset into training and test sets is: 1 point

To speed up the training process

To reduce the amount of labelled data needed for evaluating classifier accuracy

To estimate how well the learned model will generalize to new data

To reduce the number of features we need to consider as input to the learning algorithm

9. The purpose of setting the random_state parameter in train_test_split is: (Select all that apply) 1 point

To avoid predictable splitting of the data

To avoid bias in data splitting

To split the data into similar subsets so that bias is not introduced into the final results

To make experiments easily reproducible by always using the same partitioning of the data

10. Given a dataset with 10,000 observations and 50 features plus one label, what would be the dimensions of 1 point
X_train, y_train, X_test, and y_test? Assume a train/test split of 75%/25%.

X_train: (2500, )

y_train: (2500, 50)

X_test: (7500, )
y_test: (7500, 50)

X_train: (2500, 50)

y_train: (2500, )
X_test: (7500, 50)
y_test: (7500, )

X_train: (10000, 50)

y_train: (10000, )
X_test: (10000, 50)
y_test: (10000, )

X_train: (10000, 28)

y_train: (10000, )

X_test: (10000, 12)

y_test: (10000, )

X_train: (7500, 50)

y_train: (7500, )
X_test: (2500, 50)
y_test: (2500, )

11. Which of the following statements about the effect of the number of neighbors parameter k is true? 1 point

For small values of  k (e.g. k = 1), the classifier will tend to be much more sensitive to noise, mislabeled data,
and other sources of variation for individual data points.

Nearest neighbor classifier accuracy is never significantly affected by the choice of k.

For larger values of k (e.g. k = 10), the regions in feature space assigned to different classes generally
become less fragmented and have smoother decision boundaries between the regions, compared to results
using smaller values of k.

For small values of  k (e.g. k = 1), the classifier will tend to be much less sensitive to noise, mislabeled data,
and other sources of variation for individual data points.
