问题如下:
After cleansing
the data, Steele then preprocesses the dataset. She creates two new variables:
an “Age” variable based on the firm’s IPO date and an “Interest Coverage Ratio”
variable equal to EBIT divided by interest expense. She also deletes the “IPO
Date” variable from the dataset.
During the preprocessing of the data in Exhibit 1,
what type of data transformation did Steele perform during the data
preprocessing step?
选项:
A.Extraction
Conversion
Aggregation
解释:
A is correct. During the data preprocessing step,
Steele created a new “Age” variable based on the firm’s IPO date and then
deleted the “IPO Date” variable from the dataset. She also created a new
“Interest Coverage Ratio” variable equal to EBIT divided by interest expense.
Extraction refers to a data transformation where a new variable is extracted
from a current variable for ease of analyzing and using for training an ML
model, such as creating an age variable from a date variable or a ratio
variable. Steele also performed a selection transformation by deleting the IPO
Date variable, which refers to deleting the data columns that are not needed
for the project.
请问第二个新的变量的转换为什么不是Aggregation: “Interest Coverage Ratio” variable equal to EBIT divided by interest expense.
