Options:
A: To interpret each dimension with a set of terms.
B: To ensure the topics are relevant to your interests.
C: To determine the number of topics that are discovered.
​D: To avoid producing topics that are too similar

What can be inferred from the properties above?

Options:
A: The input data set contains an expected revenue variable, with values for individual customers.
B: The expected revenue for individual customers is $9.50.
C: The expected revenue for individual customers is $10.
D: The expected revenue for individual customers is the estimated outcome from the model.

Q 4: What distinguishes a deterministic linear trend from other local linear trends?

Options:
A: A deterministic linear trend is always linear; other local linear trends are only linear over certain intervals.
B: A deterministic linear trend does not contain a seasonal component; other local linear trends do contain a seasonal component.
C: A deterministic linear trend shows the same slope at all time periods; other local linear trends do not show the same slope at all time periods.
D: A deterministic trend has a predetermined slope; other local linear trends do not have a predetermined slope.

Q 5: What is a primary value of text mining as applied to forensic linguistics analysis?

Options:
A: Determining the native language of a suspect can help identify where a suspect may reside.
B: The usage of certain emotion-based nouns, verbs, and adjectives indicate criminal pathology.
C: Word frequencies of written or spoken communication can help discriminate between suspects.
D: Determines if the written or spoken communication is the subject's second language.
