Python In Practice - 15 Projects to Master Python - Preparing Data to Train the Machine Learning Model

The video tutorial covers the preprocessing of data for a linear regression model, including removing unnecessary columns and separating input and output data. It explains the importance of using 2D arrays in machine learning and demonstrates how to visualize data distribution using histograms and bar charts. The tutorial emphasizes the need for a normal distribution of data to ensure accurate model predictions.

What is the first step in preparing data for a linear regression model?

• Adding new columns

• Removing unnecessary columns

• Changing data types

• Normalizing data

In machine learning, what is the convention for labeling input and output variables?

• A for input, B for output

• M for input, N for output

• X for input, Y for output

• I for input, O for output

Why is it important to use a 2D array for input data in machine learning?

• To increase processing speed

• To save memory

• To ensure each input is treated independently

• To simplify the code

What is the purpose of slicing data into input and output datasets?

• To improve data accuracy

• To format data for model training

• To prepare data for visualization

• To reduce data size

What type of data distribution is preferred for effective model training?

• Skewed distribution

• Bimodal distribution

• Random distribution

• Normal or uniform distribution

Which method is used to visualize the distribution of data in this lesson?

• Line chart

• Pie chart

• Scatter plot

• Histogram

Why is it important to visualize data distribution before model training?

• To determine data types

• To check for duplicate entries

• To ensure data is normally distributed

• To identify missing values
