- Start: Monday, September 11
- End: Friday, September 15
Summary
This week we will continue discussing the supervised learning regression task, but more through the lense of theory. In particular, we’ll discussion the bias-variance tradeoff and how model flexibility relates to overfitting.
Learning Objectives
After completing this week, you are expected to be able to:
- Understand how model flexibility relates to the bias-variance tradeoff and thus model performance.
- Select models by manipulating their flexibility through the use of a tuning parameter.
- Avoid overfitting by selecting an a model of appropriate flexibility through the use of a validation set.
