Study Notes
What is CVS evaluation?
- A method to evaluate the performance of a machine learning model
- Stands for Cross-Validation Score evaluation
- Helps to prevent overfitting and underfitting by evaluating the model on unseen data
How does CVS evaluation work?
- The dataset is divided into k subsets (folds)
- The model is trained on k-1 folds and evaluated on the remaining fold
- This process is repeated k times, with each fold serving as the evaluation set once
- The average performance across all folds is calculated to get the final score
Types of CVS evaluation:
- K-Fold Cross-Validation: The dataset is divided into k subsets, and the model is trained and evaluated k times
- Leave-One-Out Cross-Validation: Each instance in the dataset is used as the evaluation set once, and the model is trained on the remaining instances
- Stratified Cross-Validation: Used for classification problems, ensures that the class distribution is maintained in each fold
Advantages of CVS evaluation:
- Reduced overfitting: Evaluates the model on unseen data, reducing the chance of overfitting
- Improved model selection: Allows for a more accurate comparison of different models
- Hyperparameter tuning: Helps to find the optimal hyperparameters for a model
Disadvantages of CVS evaluation:
- Computationally expensive: Requires training and evaluating the model multiple times
- May not be suitable for small datasets: May lead to biased or high-variance estimates
CVS Evaluation
- A method to evaluate the performance of a machine learning model, preventing overfitting and underfitting by testing on unseen data.
How it Works
- Divides the dataset into k subsets (folds).
- Trains the model on k-1 folds and evaluates on the remaining fold.
- Repeats the process k times, with each fold serving as the evaluation set once.
- Calculates the average performance across all folds to get the final score.
Types of CVS Evaluation
K-Fold Cross-Validation
- Divides the dataset into k subsets.
- Trains and evaluates the model k times.
Leave-One-Out Cross-Validation
- Uses each instance in the dataset as the evaluation set once.
- Trains the model on the remaining instances.
Stratified Cross-Validation
- Used for classification problems.
- Ensures that the class distribution is maintained in each fold.
Advantages
- Reduces overfitting by evaluating the model on unseen data.
- Improves model selection by allowing for accurate comparison of different models.
- Helps in hyperparameter tuning by finding the optimal hyperparameters for a model.
Disadvantages
- Computationally expensive, requiring multiple training and evaluation iterations.
- May not be suitable for small datasets, leading to biased or high-variance estimates.
