In Machine learning interview, what to do when you are first given a data set?

Question

Can anyone tell me what to do when you are first given a data set in ML interview?

Answer 1

When you are given a dataset in Machine learning Interview, you have to do the exploratory data analysis. Exploratory data analysis includes variable identification, univariate and bivariate analysis, check for missing values and outliers. After these steps look for feature engineering i.e. create new variables from existing variables, removing unnecessary variables. After EDA and feature engineering built an ML model and check the performance metrics to validate the model.
