a.

Explanation of Solution

Flexible or inflexible method

  • When the sample size n is large and number of predictors p is small, then the method is inflexible.
  • Flexible methods work better when a large number of predictors need to be predicted.
  • An inflexible method will work better in the case of small number of predictors.

b.

Explanation of Solution

Flexible or inflexible method

  • When the number of predictors is large, then the method is flexible.
  • Flexible methods work better when a large number of predictors need to be predicted.
  • An inflexible method will work better in the case of small number of predictors.

c.

Explanation of Solution

Flexible or inflexible method

  • When the relationship between predictors and response is non-linear then the method is flexible.
  • Flexible methods are good at fitting non-linear models.

d.

Explanation of Solution

Flexible or inflexible method

  • When the variance of error terms is extremely high, then the method is inflexible.
  • Choosing a flexible model in the case is over fitting.
  • A flexible method will end up fitting the noise.

In the GoF book, List interface is defined as follows: interface List { int count(); //return the current number of elements in the list Object get(int index); //return the object at the index in the list Object first(); //return the first object in the list Object last(); //return the last object in the list boolean include(Object obj); //return true is the object in the list void append(Object obj); //append the object to the end of the list void prepend(Object obj); //insert the object to the front of the list void delete(Object obj); //remove the object from the list void deleteLast(); //remove the last element of the list void deleteFirst(); //remove the first element of the list void deleteAll(); //remove all elements of the list (a) Write a class adapter to adapt Java ArrayList to GoF List interface.

In modern packet-switched networks, including the Internet, the source host segments long, application-layer messages (for example, an image or a music file) into smaller packets and sends the packets into the network. The receiver then reassembles the packets back into the original message. We refer to this process as message segmentation. Figure 1.27 (attached) illustrates the end-to-end transport of a message with and without message segmentation. Consider a message that is 106 bits long that is to be sent from source to destination in Figure 1.27. Suppose each link in the figure is 5 Mbps. Ignore propagation, queuing, and processing delays. a. Consider sending the message from source to destination without message segmentation. How long does it take to move the message from the source host to the first packet switch? Keeping in mind that each switch uses store-and-forward packet switching, what is the total time to move the message from source host to destination host? b. Now…
