Question

For each of parts a) through d), indicate whether we would generally expect the performance of a flexible statistical learning method to be better or worse than an inflexible method. Justify your answer. a) The sample size n is extremely large, and the number of predictors p is small. b) The number of predictors p is extremely large, and the number of observations n is small. c) The relationship between the predictors and response is highly non-linear. d) The variance of the error terms, i.e. Var(?), is extremely high.
