問題文
A table has 140 columns. A data scientist plans to remove irrelevant fields before modeling. Which criterion for removal is sound?
選択肢
- Remove the columns with any missing values, because a column that is not complete cannot be relied on.
- Remove the columns that were added most recently, because recent columns have the least history and therefore the least value.
- Remove columns that are constant, that are identifiers with no predictive meaning, or that become knowable only after the outcome has already occurred.
- Remove the columns that have the weakest correlation with the target, because a weak correlation means the column cannot contribute anything the stronger columns do not already carry.
