You work for a retail company. You have been asked to develop a model to predict whether a customer will purchase a product on a given day. Your team has processed the company’s sales data, and created a table with the following rows: • Customer_id • Product_id • Date • Days_since_last_purchase (measured in days) • Average_purchase_frequency (measured in 1/days) • Purchase (binary class, if customer purchased product on the Date)
You need to interpret your model’s results for each individual prediction. What should you do?
- A. Create a BigQuery table. Use BigQuery ML to build a boosted tree classifier. Inspect the partition rules of the trees to understand how each prediction flows through the trees.
- B. Create a Vertex AI tabular dataset. Train an AutoML model to predict customer purchases. Deploy the model to a Vertex AI endpoint and enable feature attributions. Use the “explain” method to get feature attribution values for each individual prediction.
- C. Create a BigQuery table. Use BigQuery ML to build a logistic regression classification model. Use the values of the coefficients of the model to interpret the feature importance, with higher values corresponding to more importance
- D. Create a Vertex AI tabular dataset. Train an AutoML model to predict customer purchases. Deploy the model to a Vertex AI endpoint. At each prediction, enable L1 regularization to detect non-informative features.
