Database Analyst Interview Question:

Tell me how often should you retrain a data model?

Submitted by: Muhammad

A good data analyst is the one who understands how changing business dynamics will affect the efficiency of a predictive model. You must be a valuable consultant who can use analytical skills and business acumen to find the root cause of business problems.

The best way to answer this question would be to say that you would work with the client to define a time period in advance. However, I would refresh or retrain a model when the company enters a new market, consummate an acquisition or is facing emerging competition. As a data analyst, I would retrain the model as quick as possible to adjust with the changing behaviour of customers or change in market conditions.
