Microsoft DP-100 Exam - Topic 1 Question 74 Discussion

Maximum number of runs on random grid: This option also controls the number of iterations over a random sampling of parameter values, but the values are not generated randomly from the specified range; instead, a matrix is created of all possible combinations of parameter values and a random sampling is taken over the matrix. This method is more efficient and less prone to regional oversampling or undersampling.

If you are training a model that supports an integrated parameter sweep, you can also set a range of seed values to use and iterate over the random seeds as well. This is optional, but can be useful for avoiding bias introduced by seed selection.

Incorrect Answers:

B: If you are building a clustering model, use Sweep Clustering to automatically determine the optimum number of clusters and other parameters.

C: Entire grid: When you select this option, the module loops over a grid predefined by the system, to try different combinations and identify the best learner. This option is useful for cases where you don't know what the best parameter settings might be and want to try all possible combination of values.

E: If you choose a random sweep, you can specify how many times the model should be trained, using a random combination of parameter values.
