Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What does cross-validation help to prevent?
  • Step 1: Understand that when we create a model, we train it on a specific set of data.
  • Step 2: Realize that if the model learns too much from this training data, it may not work well on new, unseen data.
  • Step 3: Know that this problem is called 'overfitting' - the model is too tailored to the training data.
  • Step 4: Learn that cross-validation is a technique used to test the model on different sets of data.
  • Step 5: Understand that by using cross-validation, we can see how well the model performs on data it hasn't seen before.
  • Step 6: Conclude that this helps to ensure the model is generalizing well and not just memorizing the training data.
