Consider the following statements
A. C-Fuzzy means clustering is a supervised method of learning
B. PCA is used for dimension reduction
C. Apriori is not a supervised technique
D. When a machine learning model becomes so specially tuned to its exact input data that it fails to generalize to other similar data it is called underfitting
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
1.A and B
2.B and C✓ Correct
3.C and D
4.D and A
Solution
The correct answer is B and C
Key PointsA. C-Fuzzy means clustering is a supervised method of learning.
-> This statement is incorrect. Fuzzy C-means clustering is an unsupervised method, not a supervised one.
B. PCA is used for dimension reduction.
-> This statement is correct. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is commonly used for dimensionality reduction in machine learning.
C. Apriori is not a supervised technique.
-> This statement is correct. Apriori is an algorithm used for association rule mining in unsupervised learning.
D. When a machine learning model becomes so specially tuned to its exact input data that it fails to generalize to other similar data, it is called underfitting.
-> This statement is incorrect. The described scenario is an example of overfitting, not underfitting. Underfitting occurs when a model is too simple to capture the underlying patterns in the data.
