Amazon MLS-C01 Exam - Topic 3 Question 118 Discussion

Actual exam question for Amazon's MLS-C01 exam
Question #: 118
Topic #: 3
[All MLS-C01 Questions]

[Modeling]

A Data Scientist is building a model to predict customer churn using a dataset of 100 continuous numerical

features. The Marketing team has not provided any insight about which features are relevant for churn

prediction. The Marketing team wants to interpret the model and see the direct impact of relevant features on

the model outcome. While training a logistic regression model, the Data Scientist observes that there is a wide

gap between the training and validation set accuracy.

Which methods can the Data Scientist use to improve the model performance and satisfy the Marketing team's

needs? (Choose two.)

Adding more features might not be the best move, though.

I think recursive feature elimination is a solid choice too.

Linear discriminant analysis could provide some insights as well!

Wait, can t-SNE really help with this? Seems off.

L1 regularization can help reduce overfitting!

I recall a practice question where we used t-SNE for visualization, but I'm not sure it would directly improve model performance for this case.

I feel like adding more features could be risky, especially if we don't know which ones are relevant. It might just complicate things further.

I remember we discussed regularization techniques in class, so I think adding L1 regularization could help with overfitting.

I've got this! The wide gap between training and validation accuracy suggests overfitting, so I'd definitely start with L1 regularization. And to satisfy the Marketing team's needs, recursive feature elimination is the way to go. Easy peasy!

Okay, this is a tricky one. I think the key is to balance model performance and interpretability. Adding features could improve the model, but that might make it harder for the Marketing team to understand. I'd probably go with a combination of recursive feature elimination and linear discriminant analysis to identify the most relevant features.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. Adding L1 regularization could help with feature selection, but I'm not sure if that's the best approach here. Maybe I should also consider performing t-SNE to visualize the data and get a better understanding of the feature space.

This looks like a classic feature selection problem. I'd start by trying recursive feature elimination to identify the most relevant features for the model.

Wait, linear discriminant analysis (option E)? I thought this was a logistic regression problem. That's like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. Let's keep it simple, folks!

Hmm, I'm not sure t-SNE (option D) is the best fit for this problem. Isn't that more for visualization and dimensionality reduction? I think the Data Scientist should stick to methods that are more directly related to feature selection and model interpretation.

Option A, adding L1 regularization, could also be helpful in this case. It can help with feature selection and potentially improve the model's performance.

Adding more features (option B) could be a good idea, but I'm not sure if that's the best approach here. The Marketing team wants to interpret the model, so focusing on feature selection might be more appropriate.
