7) Give a popular application of machine learning that you see on day to day basis?
The recommendation engine implemented by major ecommerce websites uses Machine Learning.
Ans. It is a subclass of information filtering system that seeks to predict the “rating” or “preference” that a user
would give to an item.
11. What is the difference between data science and big data?
Ans. Data science is a field applicable to any data sizes. Big data refers to the large amount of data which
cannot be analysed by traditional methods.

12. Name some of the prominent resampling methods in data science
Ans. The Bootstrap, Permutation Tests, Cross-validation and Jackknife
13. What packages are used for Machine learning in Python and R?
Ans. There are various packages in Python and R:
Python – Orange, Pandas, NLTK, Matplotlib, and Scikit-learn are some of them
R – Arules, tm, Forecast and GGPlot are some of the packages
15. What is the difference between squared error and absolute error?
Ans. Squared error measures the average of the squares of the errors or deviations—that is, the difference
between the estimator and what is estimated.
Absolute error is the difference between the measured or inferred value of a quantity and its actual value.
