Regression with categorical features

Now you have created music_dummies, containing binary features for each song's genre, it's time to build a ridge regression model to predict song popularity.

music_dummies has been preloaded for you, along with Ridge, cross_val_score, numpy as np, and a KFold object stored as kf.

The model will be evaluated by calculating the average RMSE, but first, you will need to convert the scores for each fold to positive values and take their square root. This metric shows the average error of our model's predictions, so it can be compared against the standard deviation of the target value—"popularity".

Istruzioni dell'esercizio

Create X, containing all features in music_dummies, and y, consisting of the "popularity" column, respectively.
Instantiate a ridge regression model, setting alpha equal to 0.2.
Perform cross-validation on X and y using the ridge model, setting cv equal to kf, and using negative mean squared error as the scoring metric.
Print the RMSE values by converting negative scores to positive and taking the square root.

In this chapter, you'll be introduced to classification problems and learn how to solve them using supervised learning techniques. You'll learn how to split data into training and test sets, fit a model, make predictions, and evaluate accuracy. You’ll discover the relationship between model complexity and performance, applying what you learn to a churn dataset, where you will classify the churn status of a telecom company's customers.
