Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 2, Problem 1E
a.
Explanation of Solution
Flexible or inflexible method
- When the sample size n is large and number of predictors p is small, then the method is inflexible.
- Flexible methods work better when a large number of predictors need to be predicted.
- An inflexible method will work better in the case of small number of predictors.
b.
Explanation of Solution
Flexible or inflexible method
- When the number of predictors is large, then the method is flexible.
- Flexible methods work better when a large number of predictors need to be predicted.
- An inflexible method will work better in the case of small number of predictors.
c.
Explanation of Solution
Flexible or inflexible method
- When the relationship between predictors and response is non-linear then the method is flexible.
- Flexible methods are good at fitting non-linear models.
d.
Explanation of Solution
Flexible or inflexible method
- When the variance of error terms is extremely high, then the method is inflexible.
- Choosing a flexible model in the case is over fitting.
- A flexible method will end up fitting the noise.

What is the primary objective of linear regression in machine learning?
A) Maximizing accuracy of predictions.B) Minimizing the number of features.C) Minimizing the sum of squared differences between predicted and actual values.
D) Maximizing the correlation coefficient between variables.
Finding a hypothesis that matches the examples is the first step in inductive learning.According to Ockham's razor, the simplest consistent theory should be chosen. The difficulty of this job is determined on the representation used. (True/False)
