Question #87


What is a benefit to performing data cleansing (imputation, transformations, etc.) on data after partitioning the data for honest assessment as opposed to performing the data cleansing prior to partitioning the data?


image

  1. It makes inference on the model possible.

    image

  2. It is computationally easier and requires less time.

    image

  3. It omits the training (and test) data sets from the benefits of the cleansing methods.

    image

  4. It allows for the determination of the effectiveness of the cleansing method.


Answer: D Question #88

A researcher has several variables that could be possible predictors for the final model. There is interest in checking all 2-way interactions for possible entry to the model. The researcher has decided to use forward selection within PROC LOGISTIC. Fill in the missing code option that will ensure that all 2-way interactions will be considered for entry.

An analyst determines that loan defaults occur at the rate of 3% in the overall population. The above confusion matrix is from an oversampled test set (1 = default). What is the sensitivity adjusted for the population event probability?

Enter your answer in the space below. Round to three decimals (example: n.nnn).


Answer: 0.617


Question #90


Refer to the exhibit:

image

  1. the proportion of cases that cannot be classified

    image

  2. the probability of a false negative

    image

  3. the probability of a false positive

    image

  4. the prior event rate

Answer: B Question #91

Refer to the confusion matrix:

image

Calculate the accuracy and error rate (0 - negative outcome, 1 - positive outcome)


image

  1. Accuracy = 58/102, Error Rate = 23/48

    image

  2. Accuracy = 83/102, Error Rate = 67/102

    image

  3. Accuracy = 25/150, Error Rate = 44/150

    image

  4. Accuracy = 83/150, Error Rate = 67/150


Answer: A Question #92

Question #94


An analyst knows that the categorical predictor, zip_code, is an important predictor of a binary target. However, zip_code has too many levels to be a feasible predictor in a model. The analyst uses PROC CLUSTER to implement Greenacre's method to reduce the number of categorical levels.

What is the correct application of Greenacre's method in this situation?


image

  1. Clustering the levels using the target proportion for each zip_code as input.

    image

  2. Clustering the levels using the zip_code values as input.

    image

  3. Clustering the levels using the number of cases in each zip_code as input.

    image

  4. Clustering the levels using dummy coded zip_code levels as inputs.
