Let’s go! Time to understand our next algorithm Logistic Regression

First things first:

Despite the name, it’s not used for regression (predicting numbers) — it’s actually used for classification (like yes/no, spam/not spam, 1/0).

So think of it more like:

> “Will this happen or not?”
“Yes or No?”
“True or False?”


Real-Life Example:

Let’s say you're a recruiter looking at resumes.

You want to predict: Will this candidate get hired?

You’ve got features like:

Years of experience

Skill match

Education level


You feed those into a Logistic Regression model, and it gives you a probability, like:

> “There’s an 82% chance this person will be hired.”



If it’s above a certain threshold (like 50%), it predicts “Yes” — otherwise “No.”


How It Works (Simply):

It draws a boundary between two classes — like a straight line (or curve) that separates:

All the YES cases on one side

All the NO cases on the other


It uses something called a sigmoid function to convert numbers into probabilities between 0 and 1.

That’s the trick — instead of predicting a raw score, it predicts how confident it is.


Why It’s Used:

- Easy to understand

- Works well with smaller data

- Good baseline model for many classification problems


Some good usecases:

Credit scoring (Will you repay the loan?)

Medical diagnosis (Is it cancerous or not?)

Marketing (Will the customer click the ad?)


It’s like the entry-level, but highly reliable classifier in your ML toolkit.

ENJOY LEARNING 👍👍

Now, let’s understand Gradient Boosting Algorithm


Let's say, You’re trying to guess someone’s age just by looking at them.

You ask your friend, and they say:

> “Hmm, looks like 30.”



You know they’re not great at guessing, but not totally wrong either.

So, you ask a second friend to fix the mistake made by the first one.
Then a third friend tries to fix the errors of both.

Now combine all their guesses — the final answer is a smarter, more accurate prediction.

That’s exactly how Gradient Boosting works.


Simply, It doesn’t build one big smart model.

Instead, it builds lots of small, weak models (usually decision trees), and each one tries to correct the mistakes made by the previous ones.

- First model gives a rough prediction.

- Second model looks at where the first went wrong.

- Third model fixes that again.

And so on…


By the end, all those tiny models work together like a squad to give a powerful prediction.

Why “Gradient” Boosting?

“Gradient” refers to using gradient descent — a fancy way of saying:

> "Let's go step-by-step in the right direction to reduce errors."



Every new tree is built in a way that reduces the error made by the previous ones — kind of like learning from feedback.


Where to use Gradient Boosting:

- Loan default prediction

- Customer churn modeling

- Kaggle competitions (it’s a fan favorite)

- Stock price movements


It’s used in powerful libraries like XGBoost, LightGBM, and CatBoost — all variations of this technique.

Super powerful, but can be slow and needs good tuning.

If you're serious about getting into Data Science with Python, follow this 5-step roadmap.

Each phase builds on the previous one, so don’t rush.

Take your time, build projects, and keep moving forward.

Step 1: Python Fundamentals
Before anything else, get your hands dirty with core Python.
This is the language that powers everything else.

✅ What to learn:
type(), int(), float(), str(), list(), dict()
if, elif, else, for, while, range()
def, return, function arguments
List comprehensions: [x for x in list if condition]
– Mini Checkpoint:
Build a mini console-based data calculator (inputs, basic operations, conditionals, loops).

Step 2: Data Cleaning with Pandas
Pandas is the tool you'll use to clean, reshape, and explore data in real-world scenarios.

✅ What to learn:
Cleaning: df.dropna(), df.fillna(), df.replace(), df.drop_duplicates()
Merging & reshaping: pd.merge(), df.pivot(), df.melt()
Grouping & aggregation: df.groupby(), df.agg()
– Mini Checkpoint:

Nobody wants raw tables.
Learn to tell stories through charts.

✅ What to learn:
Basic charts: plt.plot(), plt.scatter()
Advanced plots: plt.hist(), plt.kde(), plt.boxplot()
Subplots & customizations: plt.subplots(), fig.add_subplot(), plt.noscript(), plt.legend(), plt.xlabel()
– Mini Checkpoint:
Create a dashboard-style notebook visualizing a dataset, include at least 4 types of plots.

All the best 👍👍

Let's move on to the next Machine Learning Algorithm Random Forest

Let's say, you’ve got a really tough question to answer — so you don’t just ask one expert.
You ask a whole panel of experts, each with their own opinion.

Then, you take a vote — and go with what the majority says.

That’s how Random Forest works.


At its core, it builds lots of decision trees, not just one.

Each tree gets:

- A random subset of the data

- A random subset of the features (columns)


Each tree makes a prediction — and then the forest says:

> “Alright, let’s vote!” 😄



For classification, it picks the class most trees agree on.
For regression, it averages the numbers predicted by each tree.


Why Randomness? 🤔

That randomness actually makes the model more robust.

Instead of every tree seeing the same stuff and making the same mistakes, each tree gets its own “view,” which reduces overfitting and makes the whole forest more balanced and fair.


In Real Life:

Let’s say you’re predicting whether a loan applicant is risky.

One tree might focus on income and age.
Another tree might focus on employment history and loan amount.
Another might consider credit score and existing debt.

Together, they make a better decision than any single tree.


When to Use Random Forst:

- Credit scoring

- Stock market analysis

- Fraud detection

- Healthcare diagnosis


It’s often the go-to when you want high accuracy and don’t mind the model being a bit of a black box.

Data Science Interview Questions

1. What are the different subsets of SQL?

Data Definition Language (DDL) – It allows you to perform various operations on the database such as CREATE, ALTER, and DELETE objects.
Data Manipulation Language(DML) – It allows you to access and manipulate data. It helps you to insert, update, delete and retrieve data from the database.
Data Control Language(DCL) – It allows you to control access to the database. Example – Grant, Revoke access permissions.

2. List the different types of relationships in SQL.

There are different types of relations in the database:
One-to-One – This is a connection between two tables in which each record in one table corresponds to the maximum of one record in the other.
One-to-Many and Many-to-One – This is the most frequent connection, in which a record in one table is linked to several records in another.
Many-to-Many – This is used when defining a relationship that requires several instances on each sides.
Self-Referencing Relationships – When a table has to declare a connection with itself, this is the method to employ.

3. How to create empty tables with the same structure as another table?

To create empty tables:
Using the INTO operator to fetch the records of one table into a new table while setting a WHERE clause to false for all entries, it is possible to create empty tables with the same structure. As a result, SQL creates a new table with a duplicate structure to accept the fetched entries, but nothing is stored into the new table since the WHERE clause is active.

4. What is Normalization and what are the advantages of it?

Normalization in SQL is the process of organizing data to avoid duplication and redundancy. Some of the advantages are:
Better Database organization
More Tables with smaller rows
Efficient data access
Greater Flexibility for Queries
Quickly find the information
Easier to implement Security

Data Science Interview Questions with Answers

What’s the difference between random forest and gradient boosting?

Random Forests builds each tree independently while Gradient Boosting builds one tree at a time.
Random Forests combine results at the end of the process (by averaging or "majority rules") while Gradient Boosting combines results along the way.

What happens to our linear regression model if we have three columns in our data: x, y, z  —  and z is a sum of x and y?

We would not be able to perform the regression. Because z is linearly dependent on x and y so when performing the regression  would be a singular (not invertible) matrix.

Which regularization techniques do you know?

There are mainly two types of regularization,

L1 Regularization (Lasso regularization) - Adds the sum of absolute values of the coefficients to the cost function.
L2 Regularization (Ridge regularization) - Adds the sum of squares of coefficients to the cost function

Here, Lambda determines the amount of regularization.

How does L2 regularization look like in a linear model?

L2 regularization adds a penalty term to our cost function which is equal to the sum of squares of models coefficients multiplied by a lambda hyperparameter.

This technique makes sure that the coefficients are close to zero and is widely used in cases when we have a lot of features that might correlate with each other.

What are the main parameters in the gradient boosting model?

There are many parameters, but below are a few key defaults.

learning_rate=0.1 (shrinkage).
n_estimators=100 (number of trees).
max_depth=3.
min_samples_split=2.
min_samples_leaf=1.
subsample=1.0.
