Model Evaluation using Visualization

 This passage describes various visualization techniques for evaluating regression models.

  1. Regression plots: These plots depict the relationship between two variables, typically an independent variable (x-axis) and a dependent variable (y-axis). Each point on the plot represents a data point, and the fitted line represents the predicted values generated by the model. Seaborn's regplot function is mentioned as a tool to create regression plots. These plots help assess the strength and direction of the relationship between variables.

  2. Residual plots: Residual plots are used to visualize the errors between the actual and predicted values. By subtracting the predicted values from the actual target values, we obtain the residuals. The plot of these residuals against the independent variable helps identify patterns or deviations from the expected behavior of the model. A residual plot with a curvature or non-random distribution of residuals suggests that the linear assumption of the model might be incorrect, indicating a need for more complex modeling techniques.

  3. Seaborn's residplot function: This function is used to create residual plots in Seaborn. It takes the series of independent variables/features and the series of dependent variables/targets as parameters. By visualizing the residuals, one can assess whether the model adequately captures the underlying relationships in the data.

  4. Distribution plots: These plots count the predicted values versus the actual values and are useful for visualizing models with multiple independent variables/features. They provide insight into how well the model predictions align with the actual data distribution. The passage describes how distribution plots help compare predicted and actual values, highlighting areas of accuracy and potential discrepancies.

Overall, these visualization techniques play a crucial role in assessing the performance of regression models, identifying any model inadequacies, and guiding model refinement or selection of alternative modeling approaches.

Common cybersecurity terminology

  As you’ve learned, cybersecurity (also known as security) is the practice of ensuring confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information by protecting networks, devices, people, and data from unauthorized access or criminal exploitation. In this reading, you’ll be introduced to some key terms used in the cybersecurity profession. Then, you’ll be provided with a resource that’s useful for staying informed about changes to cybersecurity terminology. Key cybersecurity terms and concepts There are many terms and concepts that are important for security professionals to know. Being familiar with them can help you better identify the threats that can harm organizations and people alike. A security analyst or cybersecurity analyst focuses on monitoring networks for breaches. They also help develop strategies to secure an organization and research information technology (IT) security trends to remain alert and informed about potential threats. Additionally, an analyst work...
