Study Notes
Bias-Variance Tradeoff
- Bias: The amount of error introduced by simplifying a model, resulting in a model that is not complex enough to capture the underlying patterns in the data.
- Variance: The amount of error introduced by a model that is too complex, resulting in a model that is sensitive to the noise in the training data.
Model Performance
- High Bias: Indicates that the model is too simple and misses important relationships between the variables, resulting in poor performance on both training and testing data.
- High Variance: Indicates that the model is too complex and performs well on the training data but poorly on the testing data, due to overfitting.
Error Formula
- The error in the bias-variance tradeoff can be broken down into three components: Bias², Variance, and Irreducible Error, represented by the formula:
Error = Bias² + Variance + Irreducible Error
