Question 2.1C For each of parts (a) through (d), indicate whether we would generally expect the performance of a fexible statistical learning method to be better or worse than an infexible method. Justify your answer. (a) The sample size n is extremely large, and the number of predictors p is small. (b) The number of predictors p is extremely large, and the number of observations n is small. (c) The relationship between the predictors and response is highly non-linear. (d) The variance of the error terms, i.e. σ2 = Var( ϵ ), is extremely high.
