Study Notes
Prediction Accuracy
- Least squares estimates are effective when the true relationship between the response variable and predictors is nearly linear.
- Low bias in the predictions enhances overall accuracy.
Model Interpretability
- Simplifying models by removing irrelevant variables aids in better understanding and interpreting results.
- Easier interpretation leads to more effective decision-making based on model outcomes.
Feature (Variable) Selection
- Involves excluding irrelevant variables from a multiple regression model to enhance clarity.
- Streamlined models often yield more meaningful results and insights.
Subset Selection
- Aims to identify a relevant subset of predictors believed to influence the response variable.
- Utilizes least squares fitting on the selected subset for improved model performance.
Shrinkage (Regularization)
- This technique fits a model using all predictors while simultaneously shrinking coefficient estimates towards zero.
- Helps in reducing variance, leading to more stable and generalizable models.
Dimension Reduction
- Projects p predictors into an M-dimensional subspace, where M is less than p.
- Aids in simplifying models while retaining essential information from the variables.
