You are working on a project where you have an abundance of features. How do you decide which features to include in your model and why?
- Apply feature selection techniques
- Randomly pick features
- Use all features
- Use only numerical features
Applying feature selection techniques like mutual information, correlation-based methods, or tree-based methods helps in removing irrelevant or redundant features. This enhances the model's performance by reducing overfitting and improving interpretability.
