1) The parameters obtained in linear regression 1 point

can take any value in the real space
are strictly integers
Course always lie in the range [0,1]
outline can take only non-zero values

2) Suppose that we have N independent variables (X1 , X2 , . . . Xn ) and the dependent 1 point
How does an variable is Y . Now imagine that you are applying linear regression by fitting the best fit line using
NPTEL online the least square error on this data. You found that the correlation coefficient for one of its variables
course work?
(Say X1 ) with Y is -0.005.
()

Week 0 () Regressing Y on X1 mostly does not explain away Y .

Week 1 () Regressing Y on X1 explains away Y .

Week 2 () The given data is insufficient to determine if regressing Y on X1 explains away Y or not.

Lasso has a closed form solution for the optimization problem, but this is not the case for

Ridge.
lesson=149)
Ridge regression does not reduce the number of variables since it never leads a coefficient
Week 3 () to zero but only minimizes it.
If there are two or more highly collinear variables, Lasso will select one of them randomly.

Videos () Reason(R): Orthogonalization makes univariate regression possible in each orthogonal dimension
separately to produce the coefficients.

Solving A is true, but R is false.

Session () A is false, but R is true.
Both A and R are false.

7) Consider the following statements: 1 point

Statement A: In Forward stepwise selection, in each step, that variable is chosen which has the
maximum correlation with the residual, then the residual is regressed on that variable, and it is
added to the predictor.

Statement B: In Forward stagewise selection, the variables are added one by one to the previously
selected variables to produce the best fit till then

Both the statements are True.

Statement A is True, and Statement B is False
Statement A if False and Statement B is True
Both the statements are False.

8) The linear regression model y = a0 + a1 x1 + a2 x2 +. . . +ap xp is to be fitted to a 2 points

set of N training data points having p attributes each. Let X be N × (p + 1) vectors of input
values (augmented by 1‘s), Y be N × 1 vector of target values, and θ be (p + 1) × 1 vector of
parameter values (a0 , a1 , a2 , . . . , ap ) . If the sum squared error is minimized for obtaining the
optimal regression model, which of the following equation holds?

X T X = XY

Xθ = X T Y

X T Xθ = Y

X T Xθ = X T Y
