Q. Suppose we fit "Lasso Regression" to a data set, which has 100 features (X1,X2...X100). Now, we rescale one of these feature by multiplying with 10 (say that feature is X1), and then refit Lasso regression with the same regularization parameter. Now, which of the following option will be correct?

  • (A) It is more likely for X1 to be excluded from the model
  • (B) Decision Tree
  • (C) Can't say
  • (D) None of these

Q. The kernel trick

  • (A) can be applied to every classification algorithm
  • (B) a and d
  • (C) changes ridge regression so we solve a d × d linear system instead of an n × n system, given n sample points with d features
  • (D) exploits the fact that in many learning algorithms, the weights can be written as a linear combination of input points
