Explain how supervised and unsupervised learning differ, and ground the distinction in a practical ML example.
Explain the bias-variance tradeoff and how it guides model choice, regularization, and generalization performance.
Explain what statistical significance means and why it matters when interpreting experimental or analytical results.
Choose hyperparameters with cross-validation and validation metrics, while balancing bias, variance, and overfitting.
Choose the right classification metrics, and explain when precision, recall, and F1 score matter most.
Explain the difference between precision and recall, and how each reflects a different type of classification error.
Explain practical ways to train and evaluate a classifier when the target classes are highly imbalanced.
Explain how to diagnose and reduce overfitting using regularization, validation strategy, and model complexity controls.
Choose a decision threshold for a classifier using precision, recall, calibration, and confusion matrix tradeoffs.
Explain what a confusion matrix shows and how to read it for precision and recall.
Explain how to evaluate a regression model with RMSE and MAE, and how to interpret the tradeoff between average and large errors.
Reason about power analysis when planning an experiment and choosing sample size.
Explain what cross-validation is and why it matters when choosing between models.
Explain how regression and classification differ, including target type, outputs, and how you evaluate each.
Explain how to tell whether a model is overfitting or underfitting using train versus validation performance and related checks.
Compare two rent prediction models and decide whether MAE or RMSE is the better selection metric given costly large errors.
Choose hyperparameters for a supervised model using cross-validation and regularization tradeoffs.
Explain how to evaluate a regression model using error metrics, validation, and residual analysis.
Evaluate how a model performs across datasets using accuracy, precision, recall, and F1, and explain what differences mean.
