Which of the following is not a common uncertainty visualization technique?

  1. Error bars

  2. Confidence intervals

  3. Scatterplots

  4. Heat maps


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Scatterplots are not typically used for uncertainty visualization, as they do not provide information about the uncertainty of the data points.

What is the purpose of using error bars in uncertainty visualization?

  1. To represent the range of possible values for a given data point

  2. To show the standard deviation of the data

  3. To indicate the confidence interval of the data

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Error bars can be used to represent the range of possible values, the standard deviation, and the confidence interval of the data.

Which of the following is not a type of confidence interval?

  1. One-sided confidence interval

  2. Two-sided confidence interval

  3. Bootstrap confidence interval

  4. Bayesian confidence interval


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Bootstrap confidence intervals are not a type of confidence interval, but rather a method for estimating confidence intervals.

What is the main advantage of using heat maps for uncertainty visualization?

  1. They can be used to visualize uncertainty in high-dimensional data
