The variance of a statistical learning method decreases as the method's flexibility increases - correct
answer ✔✔False. Flexibility increases, Variance increases.
SST - correct answer ✔✔Total Sum of Squares. Sum of (yi - average y)^2
SSR - correct answer ✔✔Regression Sum of Squares. Sum of (y hat - yi)^2
SSE aka RSS - correct answer ✔✔Error Sum of Squares/Residual Sum of Squares. Sum of (yi - y hat)^2
s^2 aka MSE - correct answer ✔✔SSE/(n-p-1)
Residual Standard Error - correct answer ✔✔Square rut of the MSE
Which interval is always at least as wide as the other? - correct answer ✔✔A Prediction interval is always
at least as wide as the Confidence Interval.
If p-value is less than or equal to alpha - correct answer ✔✔Reject the Null Hypothesis (the variable is
significant)
What is the difference between a t test and an F test? - correct answer ✔✔T test: one parameter at a
time. F Test: more than one parameter at a time.
The sum of leverages in a model (hi) = ? - correct answer ✔✔p + 1
How do you find the leverages in a matrix? - correct answer ✔✔They are the diagonal elements of the
Hat matrix
Cook's Distance formula? What is it for? - correct answer ✔✔Measuring leverage and residuals in one
formula. ((ei^2 * hi)/(1 - hi)^2) / MSE(p+1)
Heteroscedasticity - correct answer ✔✔Non-constant variance. Often takes on a funnel shape when
looking at a plot of residuals
What are AIC, BIC, and Mallow's Cp used for? - correct answer ✔✔They summarize the tradeoff between
model fit and complexity. Smallest value is desired.
