Mia is a data analyst for an insurer. She has been asked to mine its claims data to determine whether buildings built before 1900 have a greater chance of experiencing a complete loss than those built more recently. Mia is most likely to use which one of the following types of data model creation for this project? Available answer options Select only one option A Supervised learning B Unsupervised learning C Descriptive modeling D Predictive modeling

QUESTION 9 Your company is launching a new service. Research indicates that if you target a specific demographic of your customers with mailers detailing the service, the rate of responses would increase. This is compared to the baseline of responses you will likely receive if you send out mailers without predictive models. You would like to know what percentage of the demographic should be targeted to yield the best results. Which predictive performance method can you use to determine the best outcome? A. Classification Matrix B. Lift Curve C. Mean Absolute Error D. ROC Curve E. Total Sum of Squared Errors QUESTION 10 In what circumstance is a business analyst most likely to accept a statistical model with an asymmetric misclassification rate? A. The specificity of the classifier is high; therefore, the analyst may be confident that records of lesser importance are rarely intermingled within the class of primary interest. B. The sensitivity of the classifier is high; therefore, the analyst may be confident that records of primary importance are rarely misclassified. C. Attempting to reduce the rate of error may have ethical implications. D. The cost associated with the misclassification of records with the high error rate is nominal. E. There’s no better model available; therefore, the risks of misclassification must be accepted as mandated by governmental regulations. QUESTION 11 Which of the following statements about data mining is FALSE? A. Intelligence agencies might use data mining to determine which of a huge quantity of intercepted communications are of interest. B. One can use logistic regression to identify which medical reimbursement applications have a higher probability of involving fraud. C. If applied correctly, all data mining methods lead to the same results. D. Linear regression can be used to predict a quantitative variable. E. Predictive analytics involves tasks such as classification and prediction that can produce business intelligence.

You have been given access to a large movie rating dataset containing about 5M records with fields like Movie Name, Average Movie Rating, Genre, Number of Reviewers, Date of Release and few other numeric columns. You plan to build a Data mining model that predicts the average review based on the other columns. Which is the best approach you would adopt to build the model. Randomly sample a few 1000's of records and explore whether you can predict the rating with reasonable accuracy dropping features that don't aid in improving the predictive accuracy Use the entire dataset to build a regression model to predict the average movie rating by regressing against the remaining columns dropping features that don't aid in improving the predictive accuracy None of the above Drop the movie titles and Genres because they are unstructured data and only use the numeric columns to build a regression model using the rest of the entire data set.
