Explanation of Solution
Difference between a parametric and non parametric model
Parametric | Non parametric |
It reduces estimating f to the problem of estimating parameters. | It avoids assumptions about the shape of f. |
It uses flexible models. | It is excellent for non linear models. |
The chosen model will not match the true unknown form. | It has the option to fit a wider range of possible shapes for f... |

Select a real dataset and based on the dataset develop the machine learning model. You have to describe all the steps of the project in detailsarrow_forwardWhen deciding between different machine learning models, it is important to consider various factors such as the nature of the data, the problem being addressed, and the desired outcome. Concrete evidence and empirical evaluation can be used to compare and contrast the performance of different models. Ultimately, the selection of a particular model should be based on its ability to accurately predict outcomes and its suitability for the specific task at hand.arrow_forward
