(d) (3 Points) Misclassification errors is better than Gini index as the splitting criteria for decision trees. (e) (3 Points) The computational complexity of DBSCAN is less than that of HierarchicalClustering. (f) (3 Points) K-means is a graph-based clustering method. (g) (3 Points) DBSCAN is a hierarchical clustering method. (h) (3 Points) K-means is more resistant to noise than DBSCAN.
Prоblem 6 (22 pоints) Infоrmаtion Gаin аnd Split PlansConsider the following data set for a binary class problem. Illustrate your work/math to calculate the classification error rate when splitting on A and B.Which attribute would the decision tree induction algorithm choose? The definition ofmisclassification error is: (5 Points) The overall misclassification error before splitting: (5 Points) The gain in misclassification error after splitting on A: (5 Points) The gain in misclassification error after splitting on B: (3 Points) Which attribute would the decision tree choose: (4 Points) There are three impurity measurements: entropy, misclassification error, and Giniindex. Which one is the best for measuring impurity, and why?

Prоblem 3: (10 pоints) Distаnce/Similаrity MeаsuresGiven the fоur boxes shown in the following figure, answer the following questions. In thediagram, numbers indicate the lengths and widths and you can consider each box to be a vectorof two real numbers, length and width. For example, the top left box would be (2,1), while thebottom right box would be (3,3). Restrict your choices of similarity/distance measure toEuclidean distance and correlation. Please explain your choice. (5 Points) Which proximity measure would you use to group the boxes based on their shapes(length-width ratio)? (5 Points) Which proximity measure would you use to group the boxes based on their size?
