1. Consider the Diabetes dataset that consists of the vitals for 442 diabetic patients. The dataset is available
in the scikit-learn library. The dataset consists of 10 features that include age, gender, BMI, blood pressure,
total serum cholesterol, low-density lipoproteins cholesterol, high-density lipoproteins cholesterol, total
cholesterol / HDL cholesterol ratio, log of serum triglycerides level, blood sugar level. The target variable
is a quantitative measure of disease progression in one year after baseline.
Define the problem statement clearly for the above problem with the objective and explore at
least two perceptron models to meet the objective. Build the perceptron models and compare the results
of the chosen models.

2. Find the optimal step size to minimize the following objective function: f(x) = x2 + 4 sin (2x).
Develop step size determination methods to determine the optimal step size by choosing an initial
interval. Use the objective function f(x) to evaluate the performance of different step size estimates.
Visualize the convergence of the algorithm by plotting the values of the objective function at each
iteration. Test your implementation on the specified objective function with different initial intervals.
Evaluate the convergence speed and accuracy of the methods for this optimization problem.
