There are 20 patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and 32 patients with acute myeloid
leukemia (AML), both variants of a blood cancer.
The makeup of the groups as follows:

Each individual has an expression value for each of 10000 different genes. The expression value
for each gene is a continuous value between -1 and 1.
With which type of plot can you encode the most amount of the data visually?

Rather than use all 10,000 features to separate AML from ALL, you pick a small subnet of features
to separate them optimally. You feature vectors have 10,000 dimensions while you only have 52
data points. You use cross-validation to test your chosen set of features. What three methods will
choose the features in an optimal way?

You choose to perform agglomerative hierarchical clustering on the 10,000 features. How much
RAM do you need to hold the distance Matrix, assuming each distance value is 64-bit double?

You have a large m x n data matrix M. You decide you want to perform dimension
reduction/clustering on your data and have decide to use the singular value decomposition (SVD;
also called principal components analysis PCA)

You performed singular value decomposition (SVD; also called principal components analysis or
PCA) on you data matrix but you did not center your data first. What does your first singular
component describe?

You have a large m x n data matrix M. You decide you want to perform dimension
reduction/clustering on your data and have decide to use the singular value decomposition (SVD;
also called principal components analysis PCA)
For the moment, assume that your data matrix M is 500 x 2. The figure below shows a plot of the data.

Which line represents the second principal component?

You have a large m x n data matrix M. You decide you want to perform dimension
reduction/clustering on your data and have decide to use the singular value decomposition (SVD;
also called principal components analysis PCA)
Refer to the passage above.
What represents the SVD of the Matrix standard M given the following information:
U is m x m unitary
V is n x n unitary
S is m x n diagonal
Q is n x n invertible
D is n x n diagonal
L is m x m lower triangular
U is m x m upper triangular

Many machine learning algorithm involve finding the Global minimum of a convex loss function,
primarily because:

Which two techniques should you use to avoid overfitting a classification model to a data set?

You are building a k-nearest neighbor classifier (k-NN) on a labeled set of points in a highdimensional space. You determine that the classifier has a large error on the training data. What is
the most likely problem?

Which best describes the primary function of Flume?
