What is the purpose of cross-validation in the context of linear regression?
  1. To increase the number of features
  2. To assess the model's performance on unseen data
  3. To reduce the training time
  4. To improve the model's accuracy

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the purpose of cross-validation in the context of linear regression?
  • Step 1: Understand that linear regression is a method used to predict outcomes based on input data.
  • Step 2: Realize that when we create a model using data, we want to know how well it will perform on new, unseen data.
  • Step 3: Learn that cross-validation is a technique used to test the model's performance by splitting the data into parts.
  • Step 4: In cross-validation, we train the model on some parts of the data and test it on other parts.
  • Step 5: This process is repeated multiple times to ensure that the model is evaluated fairly.
  • Step 6: The results from cross-validation help us understand if our model is good at making predictions on new data.
