CertNexus Exam AIP-210 Topic 5 Question 30 Discussion

Actual exam question for CertNexus's AIP-210 exam
Question #: 30
Topic #: 5
[All AIP-210 Questions]

You create a prediction model with 96% accuracy. While the model's true positive rate (TPR) is performing well at 99%, the true negative rate (TNR) is only 50%. Your supervisor tells you that the TNR needs to be higher, even if it decreases the TPR. Upon further inspection, you notice that the vast majority of your data is truly positive.

What method could help address your issue?

Suggested Answer: B

Oversampling is a method that can help address the issue of imbalanced data, which is when one class is much more frequent than the other in the dataset. This can cause the model to be biased towards the majority class and have a low true negative rate. Oversampling involves creating synthetic samples of the minority class or replicating existing samples to balance the class distribution. This can help the model learn more from the minority class and improve the true negative rate.

It might, but it could improve the true negative rate.

Principal components analysis? What is this, a math quiz? I think we need a more practical solution here, folks.

But wouldn't that affect the accuracy of the model?

Haha, normalization? Really? That's like trying to fix a flat tire with a wrench. Totally the wrong tool for the job!

I'd try quality filtering first. Removing low-quality data points could help boost the TNR without sacrificing the TPR.

Oversampling seems like the way to go here. If the data is mostly positive, we need to balance out the negative samples to improve the TNR.

We might have to sacrifice a bit of the true positive rate, but it's necessary for better overall performance.

That's true, it would help improve the true negative rate.

Oversampling could definitely help balance out the negative samples.

I think oversampling could help balance the data.
