How would you handle a student reporting abuse by a parent?




I would make sure first and foremost that I was very familiar with the school's protocol when it comes to abuse because it can differ at different schools what needs to be done first. I would consult with my supervisor to see what the proper protocol is so I can make sure I am fulfilling all my legal duties while also following school rules. If the child was in my care, I would console them immediately and tell them how brave they are for telling me. I would stay with the child the entire time. In cases of abuse, someone in the school either myself, or the principal would call CPS or if necessary, the police. I would try to keep the student feeling comforted and safe by letting them play with toys, draw, write, anything that they tend to relax to. All of my decisions would be based on whatever is best for the student at that moment and going forward as well. In my experience, when students were telling me something rather difficult or something that made them upset, I just tried to play a game with them while they talked about the difficult matter, let them write down their feelings if it was hard for them to express, or even draw/colour.

Is rotation necessary in PCA? If yes, Why? What will happen if you don't rotate the components?

Is rotation necessary in PCA? If yes, Why? What will happen if you don't rotate the components? Answer: Yes, rotation (orthogonal) is necessary because it maximizes the difference between variance captured by the component. This makes the components easier to interpret. Not to forget, that's the motive of doing PCA where, we aim to select fewer components (than features) which can explain the maximum variance in the data set. By doing rotation, the relative location of the components doesn't change, it only changes the actual coordinates of the points. If we don't rotate the components, the effect of PCA will diminish and we'll have to select more number of components to explain variance in the data set.

After analyzing the model, your manager has informed that your regression model is suffering from multicollinearity. How would you check if he's true? Without losing any information, can you still build a better model?

After analyzing the model, your manager has informed that your regression model is suffering from multicollinearity. How would you check if he's true? Without losing any information, can you still build a better model? Answer: To check multicollinearity, we can create a correlation matrix to identify & remove variables having correlation above 75% (deciding a threshold is subjective). In addition, we can use calculate VIF (variance inflation factor) to check the presence of multicollinearity. VIF value <= 4 suggests no multicollinearity whereas a value of >= 10 implies serious multicollinearity. Also, we can use tolerance as an indicator of multicollinearity. But, removing correlated variables might lead to loss of information. In order to retain those variables, we can use penalized regression models like ridge or lasso regression. Also, we can add some random noise in correlated variable so that the variables become different from each other. But, adding noise m...

What does Latency mean?

What does Latency mean? Latency is a networking term to describe the total time it takes a data packet to travel from one node to another. In other contexts, when a data packet is transmitted and returned back to its source, the total time for the round trip is known as latency. Latency refers to time interval or delay when a system component is waiting for another system component to do something. This duration of time is called latency.
