r assignment 2

To build off of last week’s assignment, we will work to optimize and improve your initial models that you built last week. After covering optimization techniques in this week’s lecture (PowerPoint attached), you should have an arsenal of techniques from data transformation to selection methods.

This week you should make sure to cover the following:

  • Review of your work last week (no more than a page)
  • Variable transformations. Can we help guide our algorithm from layers within our data or normalize it through statistical techniques
  • Optimization selection methods. Apply optimization techniques to improve the accuracy of the model and explain why you choose that method(s)
  • Compare your optimization model against your baseline model from last week.
  • Communicate your findings about the optimized model and your initial feedback on which model the business should use.
