You are analyzing a dataset by using Azure Machine Learning Studio.
You need to generate a statistical summary that contains the p-value and the unique count for each feature column.
Which two modules can you use? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
- A. Computer Linear Correlation
- B. Export Count Table
- C. Execute Python Script
- D. Convert to Indicator Values
- E. Summarize Data
Answer : BE
Explanation:
The Export Count Table module is provided for backward compatibility with experiments that use the Build Count Table (deprecated) and Count Featurizer
(deprecated) modules.
E: Summarize Data statistics are useful when you want to understand the characteristics of the complete dataset. For example, you might need to know:
How many missing values are there in each column?
How many unique values are there in a feature column?
What is the mean and standard deviation for each column?
The module calculates the important scores for each column, and returns a row of summary statistics for each variable (data column) provided as input.
Incorrect Answers:
A: The Compute Linear Correlation module in Azure Machine Learning Studio is used to compute a set of Pearson correlation coefficients for each possible pair of variables in the input dataset.
C: With Python, you can perform tasks that aren't currently supported by existing Studio modules such as:
Visualizing data using matplotlib
Using Python libraries to enumerate datasets and models in your workspace
Reading, loading, and manipulating data from sources not supported by the Import Data module
D: The purpose of the Convert to Indicator Values module is to convert columns that contain categorical values into a series of binary indicator columns that can more easily be used as features in a machine learning model.

You are evaluating a completed binary classification machine learning model.
You need to use the precision as the evaluation metric.
Which visualization should you use?
- A. Violin plot
- B. Gradient descent
- C. Box plot
- D. Binary classification confusion matrix
Answer : D
Explanation:
Incorrect Answers:
A: A violin plot is a visual that traditionally combines a box plot and a kernel density plot.
B: Gradient descent is a first-order iterative optimization algorithm for finding the minimum of a function. To find a local minimum of a function using gradient descent, one takes steps proportional to the negative of the gradient (or approximate gradient) of the function at the current point.
C: A box plot lets you see basic distribution information about your data, such as median, mean, range and quartiles but doesn't show you how your data looks throughout its range.

You are analyzing a numerical dataset which contains missing values in several columns.
You must clean the missing values using an appropriate operation without affecting the dimensionality of the feature set.
You need to analyze a full dataset to include all values.
Solution: Use the Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF) method to impute the missing data points.
Does the solution meet the goal?
- A. Yes
- B. No
Answer : B
Explanation:
Instead use the Multiple Imputation by Chained Equations (MICE) method.
Replace using MICE: For each missing value, this option assigns a new value, which is calculated by using a method described in the statistical literature as
"Multivariate Imputation using Chained Equations" or "Multiple Imputation by Chained Equations". With a multiple imputation method, each variable with missing data is modeled conditionally using the other variables in the data before filling in the missing values.
Note: Last observation carried forward (LOCF) is a method of imputing missing data in longitudinal studies. If a person drops out of a study before it ends, then his or her last observed score on the dependent variable is used for all subsequent (i.e., missing) observation points. LOCF is used to maintain the sample size and to reduce the bias caused by the attrition of participants in a study.

You are performing a filter-based feature selection for a dataset to build a multi-class classifier by using Azure Machine Learning Studio.
The dataset contains categorical features that are highly correlated to the output label column.
You need to select the appropriate feature scoring statistical method to identify the key predictors.
Which method should you use?
- A. Kendall correlation
- B. Spearman correlation
- C. Chi-squared
- D. Pearson correlation
Answer : D
Explanation:
Pearson"™s correlation statistic, or Pearson"™s correlation coefficient, is also known in statistical models as the r value. For any two variables, it returns a value that indicates the strength of the correlation
Pearson"™s correlation coefficient is the test statistics that measures the statistical relationship, or association, between two continuous variables. It is known as the best method of measuring the association between variables of interest because it is based on the method of covariance. It gives information about the magnitude of the association, or correlation, as well as the direction of the relationship.
Incorrect Answers:
C: The two-way chi-squared test is a statistical method that measures how close expected values are to actual results.

You must define the hyperparameter space to automatically tune hyperparameters using random sampling according to following requirements:
-> The learning rate must be selected from a normal distribution with a mean value of 10 and a standard deviation of 3.
-> Batch size must be 16, 32 and 64.
-> Keep probability must be a value selected from a uniform distribution between the range of 0.05 and 0.1.
You need to use the param_sampling method of the Python API for the Azure Machine Learning Service.
How should you complete the code segment? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Answer : 
Explanation:
In random sampling, hyperparameter values are randomly selected from the defined search space. Random sampling allows the search space to include both discrete and continuous hyperparameters.
Example:
from azureml.train.hyperdrive import RandomParameterSampling
param_sampling = RandomParameterSampling( {
"learning_rate": normal(10, 3),
"keep_probability": uniform(0.05, 0.1),
"batch_size": choice(16, 32, 64)
}

You are analyzing a numerical dataset which contains missing values in several columns.
You must clean the missing values using an appropriate operation without affecting the dimensionality of the feature set.
You need to analyze a full dataset to include all values.
Solution: Replace each missing value using the Multiple Imputation by Chained Equations (MICE) method.
Does the solution meet the goal?
- A. Yes
- B. No
Answer : A
Explanation:
Replace using MICE: For each missing value, this option assigns a new value, which is calculated by using a method described in the statistical literature as
"Multivariate Imputation using Chained Equations" or "Multiple Imputation by Chained Equations". With a multiple imputation method, each variable with missing data is modeled conditionally using the other variables in the data before filling in the missing values.
Note: Multivariate imputation by chained equations (MICE), sometimes called "fully conditional specification" or "sequential regression multiple imputation" has emerged in the statistical literature as one principled method of addressing missing data. Creating multiple imputations, as opposed to single imputations, accounts for the statistical uncertainty in the imputations. In addition, the chained equations approach is very flexible and can handle variables of varying types
(e.g., continuous or binary) as well as complexities such as bounds or survey skip patterns.
