CSCI 347 Homework 01
Problem 1
What are the two main types of attributes typically found in data?
Problem 2
Consider the following data matrix
x1 x2
D= x3 x4
x5 x6 x7
X1 X2 X3 0.3 23 5.6 0.4 1 5.2 1.8 4 5.2 6.0 50 5.1
−0.5 34 5.7 0.4 19 5.4 1.1 11 5.5
1. (2 points) What is the estimated mean of X3?
2. (2 points) What is the estimated covariance between X1 and X3? 3. (2 points) What is the estimated multi-dimensional mean of D? 4. (2 points) What is the estimated variance of X2?
5. (2 points) What is the covariance matrix of D?
6. (2 points) What is the estimated correlation between X1 and X3? 7. (2 points) What is the total variance D?
Problem 3
Given a,b ∈ R4 (that is a fancy way of saying that a and b are 4-dimensional vectors with real values) where
a = 2.0 5.0 −2.6 6.0 b = 15.0 2.5 4.0 4.0
1. (2 points) What is ∥a − b∥2?
2. (2 points) What is ∥a − b∥1?
3. (2 points) What is the cosine of the angle between a and b?
Problem 4 (3 points)
The following questions reference the Heart Disease data set from the UCI Machine Learning Repository:
https://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/datasets/Heart+Disease
1. (1 point) One attribute is named “cigs”. What information is stored in the “cigs” attribute? 2. (1 point) How man rows (i.e., observations, entities, instances) are there in the data set?
3. (1 point) How man attributes are there in the data set?
