Question #: 63
Topic #: 7

A machine learning specialist is developing a regression model to predict rental rates from rental listings. A variable named Wall_Color represents the most prominent exterior wall color of the property. The following is the sample data, excluding all other variables:

The specialist chose a model that needs numerical input data.

Which feature engineering approaches should the specialist use to allow the regression model to learn from the Wall_Color data? (Choose two.)

AApply integer transformation and set Red = 1, White = 5, and Green = 10.

BAdd new columns that store one-hot representation of colors.

CReplace the color name string by its length.

DCreate three columns to encode the color in RGB format.

EReplace each color name by its training set frequency.

Integer transformation seems arbitrary; not a fan.

I think using RGB columns could be overkill for this.

One-hot encoding is a solid choice for categorical data!

I recall a practice question where frequency encoding was mentioned, so option E might be useful too, but I’m not confident it’s the best approach here.

I think option D, creating RGB columns, could also work, but I wonder if it might be too complex for this model.

I'm not entirely sure about the integer transformation in option A. It seems a bit arbitrary to assign those specific values to colors.

I remember we discussed one-hot encoding in class, so I think option B is definitely a good choice for handling categorical data like Wall_Color.

I'm a little confused by the options. Is the checklist or the department-specific plan also a possibility? I want to make sure I understand the question fully before answering.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The 25-hour limit per resource could be related to expert judgment or organizational process assets. I'll need to think through the differences between those concepts.
