Salesforce Certified Tableau CRM and Einstein Discovery Consultant — Question 85

When creating a story in Einstein Discovery, a client is wondering if all potential collinear fields need to be removed before executing the build story.
What would accurately answer the client's question?

Answer options

• A. Yes. If the collinear variables are not removed, the Einstein Discovery model build will fail.
• B. Yes. If all collinear variables are not excluded, the model will overfit and not make any sense.
• C. No. Although it is ideal to eliminate collinearity as soon as possible, Einstein will give a warning post-build, and the ridge regression will prevent collinearity from overfitting.
• D. No. Einstein Discovery is impervious to collinearity, so the story and subsequent model will be fine.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because while it's preferable to address collinearity early, Einstein Discovery can manage it by issuing a warning after the build and utilizing ridge regression to mitigate overfitting. Options A and B are incorrect as they suggest the model will fail or overfit if collinearity is present, which is not the case. Option D is also incorrect as it claims that collinearity has no effect, which is misleading.
