Objectives

This assignment will guide your learning process to ensure you can:

• Understand and compare different resampling methods, including cross-validation and bootstrap, and their applications in machine learning. (CLO-A, MLO 1)
• Implement and evaluate k-fold cross-validation and LOOCV, understanding their respective bias-variance tradeoffs and computational considerations. (CLO-A,B, MLO 2)
• Apply bootstrap methods to estimate uncertainty in statistical parameters and understand their assumptions and limitations. (CLO-A,F, MLO 3)
• Select and implement appropriate resampling techniques for different types of data and analysis goals, including special considerations for time series and classification problems. (CLO-B,D, MLO 4)
• Analyze real-world applications of resampling methods in economics and finance, such as portfolio optimization and risk assessment. (CLO-C,D, MLO 5)
• Communicate and interpret results from resampling analyses, including proper reporting of cross-validation errors and bootstrap confidence intervals. (CLO-D, MLO 6

(CLO) stands for Course Learning Objective. (MLO) stands for Module Learning Objective You will find a complete list of Course Learning Objectives in the Syllabus and on the Start Here: Course Overview page. Module Objectives are listed on the Module Introduction pages. Each Assignment Objective and Module Objective in this course has its associated course-level objective indicated in parentheses to clarify the relationship between the two.
