Question 2.1 Describe a situation or problem from your job, everyday life, current events, etc., for which a classification model would be appropriate. List some (up to 5) predictors that you might ... use. https://www.forbes.com/sites/shaharziv/2020/05/14/exclusive-proposal-dont-give-americans-equal-1200-second-stimulus-checks-save-35- billion/#55f2eb9056ec If the US federal government wants to more efficiently distribute stimulus funds, they could vary the amount of money that goes to each household. Residents of states with a higher cost of living would get more money, and residents of states with a lower cost of living would get less money.

Number of Dependents Question 2.2 Part 1: Using the support vector machine function ksvm contained in the R package kernlab, find a good classifier for this data. Show the equation of your classifier, and how well it classifies the data points in the full data set. (Don’t worry about test/validation data yet; we’ll cover that topic soon.) [Show More]
