Microsoft DP-100 - Designing and Implementing a Data Science Solution on Azure

Box 1: 500

For Random seed, type a value to use as seed for randomization. If you specify 0 (the default), a number is generated based on the system clock.

A seed value is optional, but you should provide a value if you want reproducibility across runs of the same experiment.

Here we must replicate the findings.

Box 2: Mean Absolute Error

Scenario: Given a trained model and a test dataset, you must compute the Permutation Feature Importance scores of feature variables. You need to set up the Permutation Feature Importance module to select the correct metric to investigate the model’s accuracy and replicate the findings.

Regression. Choose one of the following: Precision, Recall, Mean Absolute Error , Root Mean Squared Error, Relative Absolute Error, Relative Squared Error, Coefficient of Determination

Step 1: Augment the data

Scenario: Columns in each dataset contain missing and null values. The datasets also contain many outliers.

Step 2: Add the Bayesian Linear Regression module.

Scenario: You produce a regression model to predict property prices by using the Linear Regression and Bayesian Linear Regression modules.

Step 3: Configure the regularization weight.

Regularization typically is used to avoid overfitting. For example, in L2 regularization weight, type the value to use as the weight for L2 regularization. We recommend that you use a non-zero value to avoid overfitting.

Scenario:

Model fit: The model shows signs of overfitting. You need to produce a more refined regression model that reduces the overfitting.

Spearman's rank correlation coefficient assesses how well the relationship between two variables can be described using a monotonic function.

Note: Both Spearman's and Kendall's can be formulated as special cases of a more general correlation coefficient, and they are both appropriate in this scenario.

Scenario: The MedianValue and AvgRoomsInHouse columns both hold data in numeric format. You need to select a feature selection algorithm to analyze the relationship between the two columns in more detail.

Box 1: Replace using MICE

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.

Scenario: The AccessibilityToHighway column in both datasets contains missing values. The missing data must be replaced with new data so that it is modeled conditionally using the other variables in the data before filling in the missing values.

Box 2: Propagate

Cols with all missing values indicate if columns of all missing values should be preserved in the output.

Scenario: Testing

You must produce multiple partitions of a dataset based on sampling using the Partition and Sample module in Azure Machine Learning Studio.

Box 1: Assign to folds

Use Assign to folds option when you want to divide the dataset into subsets of the data. This option is also useful when you want to create a custom number of folds for cross-validation, or to split rows into several groups.

Not Head: Use Head mode to get only the first n rows. This option is useful if you want to test a pipeline on a small number of rows, and don't need the data to be balanced or sampled in any way.

Not Sampling: The Sampling option supports simple random sampling or stratified random sampling. This is useful if you want to create a smaller representative sample dataset for testing.

Box 2: Partition evenly

Specify the partitioner method: Indicate how you want data to be apportioned to each partition, using these options:

Partition evenly: Use this option to place an equal number of rows in each partition. To specify the number of output partitions, type a whole number in the Specify number of folds to split evenly into text box.

Box 1: Floating point

Need floating point for Median values.

Scenario: An initial investigation shows that the datasets are identical in structure apart from the MedianValue column. The smaller Paris dataset contains the MedianValue in text format, whereas the larger London dataset contains the MedianValue in numerical format.

Box 2: Unchanged

Note: Select the Categorical option to specify that the values in the selected columns should be treated as categories.

For example, you might have a column that contains the numbers 0,1 and 2, but know that the numbers actually mean "Smoker", "Non smoker" and "Unknown". In that case, by flagging the column as categorical you can ensure that the values are not used in numeric calculations, only to group data.

1. Confusion Matrix

2. Prediction vs True

The calibration curve plots a model's confidence in its predictions against the proportion of positive samples at each confidence level (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/machine-learning/how-to-understand-automated-ml?view=azureml-api-2#calibration-curve)

The predicted vs. true chart plots the relationship between the target feature (true/actual values) and the model's predictions (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/machine-learning/how-to-understand-automated-ml?view=azureml-api-2#predicted-vs-true)

B: You can use an Azure Resource Manager template to create a workspace for Azure Machine Learning.

Example:

{"type": "Microsoft.MachineLearningServices/workspaces",

…

C: You can create a workspace for Azure Machine Learning with Azure CLI

Install the machine learning extension.

Create a resource group: az group create --name --location

To create a new workspace where the services are automatically created, use the following command: az ml workspace create -w -g

D: You can create and manage Azure Machine Learning workspaces in the Azure portal.

Sign in to the Azure portal by using the credentials for your Azure subscription.

In the upper-left corner of Azure portal, select + Create a resource.

Use the search bar to find Machine Learning.

Select Machine Learning.

In the Machine Learning pane, select Create to begin.
