CertNexus Exam AIP-210 Topic 6 Question 37 Discussion

Actual exam question for CertNexus's AIP-210 exam
Question #: 37
Topic #: 6
[All AIP-210 Questions]

You have a dataset with thousands of features, all of which are categorical. Using these features as predictors, you are tasked with creating a prediction model to accurately predict the value of a continuous dependent variable. Which of the following would be appropriate algorithms to use? (Select two.)

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C, E

Lasso regression and ridge regression are both types of linear regression models that can handle high-dimensional and categorical data. They use regularization techniques to reduce the complexity of the model and avoid overfitting. Lasso regression uses L1 regularization, which adds a penalty term proportional to the absolute value of the coefficients to the loss function. This can shrink some coefficients to zero and perform feature selection. Ridge regression uses L2 regularization, which adds a penalty term proportional to the square of the coefficients to the loss function. This can shrink all coefficients towards zero and reduce multicollinearity. Reference: [Lasso (statistics) - Wikipedia], [Ridge regression - Wikipedia]

I would also consider using K-nearest neighbors for this task.

I agree with Portia, logistic regression is suitable for categorical features.

I was gonna say Logistic regression, but then I remembered this is for a continuous target. Rookie mistake! C and E are the clear winners here.

Lasso and Ridge, definitely. Gotta love those regularized regression models when you've got tons of features!

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I think C) Lasso regression and E) Ridge regression would be the way to go for this dataset. The others just don't seem quite right.

I think Logistic regression could also be a good option since it can handle categorical variables well.

I agree, Lasso regression and Ridge regression are both good choices for dealing with categorical features in a prediction model.
