P value is a measure used in hypothesis testing to determine the significance of the results.
P value is the probability of obtaining results at least as extreme as the observed results, assuming the null hypothesis is true.
A small P value (typically ≤ 0.05) indicates strong evidence against the null hypothesis, leading to its rejection.
A large P value (> 0.05) suggests weak evidence against the null hypothesis, lead...
I appeared for an interview in Dec 2024.
Methods for evaluating machine learning models include accuracy, precision, recall, F1 score, ROC curve, and confusion matrix.
Accuracy: measures the proportion of correct predictions out of the total predictions made by the model.
Precision: measures the proportion of true positive predictions out of all positive predictions made by the model.
Recall: measures the proportion of true positive predictions out of all actual...
Standard deviation is a measure of the amount of variation or dispersion of a set of values.
Standard deviation is calculated as the square root of the variance.
It indicates how spread out the values in a data set are around the mean.
A low standard deviation means the values are close to the mean, while a high standard deviation means the values are more spread out.
For example, in a data set of test scores, a high stand...
