Key: E
A is false, linear regression is considered inflexible because the number of possible models is restricted to a certain form.
B is false, the lasso determines the subset of variables to use while linear regression allows the analyst discretion regarding adding or moving variables.
C is false, bagging provides additional flexibility.
D is false, there is a tradeoff between being flexible and easy to interpret.
