8 Which of the following is a disadvantage of decision trees?

Your Answer
Decision trees are prone to be overfit

Correct Answer
Decision trees are prone to be overfit

Explanation
You are correct!
9 Which among the following prevents overfitting when we perform bagging?

Your Answer
The use of classification algorithms which are not prone to overfitting

Correct Answer
The use of weak classifiers

Explanation
The presence of over-training (which leads to overfitting) is not generally a problem with weak classifiers. For
example, in decision stumps, i.e., decision trees with only one node (the root node), there is no real scope
for overfitting. This helps the classifier which combines the outputs of weak classifiers in avoiding overfitting.

Your Answer
Point anomaly

Correct Answer
Point anomaly

Explanation
You are correct!

Your Answer
T+S+C+I

Correct Answer
T+S+C+I

Explanation
None.
12 For K-cross validation ,smaller k implies less variance.

Your Answer
False

Correct Answer
True

Explanation
No, that's not correct.
