Question 11

+3 marksNumerical answer

In a sports analytics company, the team is interested in predicting whether a basketball player will score above 20 points in a game using classification models. They collected data on various factors x=[x1,x2,x3]x = [x_1, x_2, x_3] from past games of different players. The factors include minutes played, shots attempted, and free throw percentage. The data and corresponding labels are shown in the table below: Compute the misclassification

xxyy
[1,5,0.8][1, 5, 0.8]1
[0,3,0.9][0, 3, 0.9]0
[1,2,0.7][1, 2, 0.7]0
[1,8,0.6][1, 8, 0.6]1
[0,7,0.5][0, 7, 0.5]0

rate if they use the following step function:

u(z)={1,if z≥30,otherwiseu(z) = \begin{cases} 1, & \text{if } z \ge 3 \\ 0, & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}

and the linear combination zz is given by: 0.6x1+0.3x2+0.1x30.6x_1 + 0.3x_2 + 0.1x_3. Enter the answer correct to one decimal place.

Note: Here, x1x_1 represents whether the player is a starter (1) or not (0), x2x_2 is the number of shots attempted, and x3x_3 is the free throw percentage. The label yy indicates whether the player scored more than 20 points (1) or not (0). The misclassification rate is the number of labels misclassified.e.g. if 3 out of 5 players are mislabeled then the misclassification rate is 3/5.
