Textbook Question
Chapter 4.1, Problem 17MS
Getting squared away. In our proof of the Pythagorean Theorem, we stated that the second figure is actually two perfect squares touching along an edge. Prove that they are indeed both perfect squares. It will be useful for you to use the puzzle pieces from your kit to build the first big square again and carefully notice how the pieces all fit together.

The following list has statements about the classifiers. In the list, there is a single incorrect statement. Please identify the incorrect
statement.
Hint 1: recall that a classifier dominates another if both performance measures are better.
Hint 2: to help you visualize and compare classifiers, you may want to plot the classifier data in a ROC graph (which will not be
submitted).

This data set will be analysed after centering all columns (not scaling). In what follows, the centered data columns are referred to as
X and Y. Using these centered columns, we have the following quantities: XTX = 24/11 = 2.1818; XTY = 13/11 =
and YTY = 24/11 = 2.1818.

Q2 Using the ridge estimate ẞ (0.56) you just computed, determine the percentage of shrinkage achieved with respect to the
squared L2 norm. That is, compute the shrinkage using || (0.56)||||||with the OLS estimate. In the provided space, write
the shrinkage as percentage between 0 and 100 with decimal values.
