1.

one hot encoding is preferred by most of the ml engineers despite increase dimensionality of
dataset. justify your answer with example
2. demonstrate the steps for performing forward feature selection and backward feature
selection. how will you check which one is well suited ?
3. suppose you have a dataset and you need to apply feature engineering. how will you decide
whether you will apply feature extraction or feature selection ?

4. suppose you have collected data through questionaries and need to pre process the data. give
answer of following questions

a. if we have a date column in our dataset then how will you perform feature engineering

b. when would you remove co related variables ?

c. how do you transform a skewed distribution into a normal distribution ?

d. how do you handle wrong values ?

e. how do you perform feature engineering on unknown features ?

5. consider a dataset and solve the following queries :
