Question 1.
What is Accuracy in classification models?
Show hintHide hint
Think about the overall performance of the model.
Question 2.
What is the formula for Precision?
Show hintHide hint
Consider what’s included in a positive prediction.
3Question 3.
What does Accuracy measure in a classification model?
- Only true positives
- Overall correctness
- Only true negatives
Show hintHide hint
Think about the total correct predictions made by the model.
4Question 4.
True or False: Precision is concerned with how many of the actual positives were predicted correctly.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider what Precision is measuring.
Question 5.
Given a dataset with a severe class imbalance, how would you approach model evaluation? Discuss the metrics you would emphasize and why.
Show hintHide hint
Consider the model's sensitivity to false positives and negatives.
Question 6.
Consider a medical test for a rare disease where 95% of results are negative. If your model shows 95% Accuracy, what implications does this have regarding Precision and Recall? Discuss.
Show hintHide hint
Reflect on the consequences of missing actual disease cases versus incorrectly diagnosing healthy individuals.
