What is the main advantage of using cross-validation?
  1. It increases the training dataset size
  2. It helps in hyperparameter tuning
  3. It provides a more reliable estimate of model performance
  4. It reduces overfitting

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the main advantage of using cross-validation?
  • Step 1: Understand that when we build a model, we need to check how well it performs.
  • Step 2: Realize that using the same data to train and test the model can give misleading results.
  • Step 3: Learn that cross-validation helps by splitting the data into different parts.
  • Step 4: In cross-validation, we train the model on one part of the data and test it on another part.
  • Step 5: Repeat this process several times with different parts of the data.
  • Step 6: By averaging the results from these tests, we get a better estimate of how the model will perform on new data.
