Randomness is a big part of machine learning. Randomness is used as a tool or a feature in preparing data and in learning algorithms that map input data to output data in order to make predictions. In order to understand the need for statistical methods in machine learning, you must understand the source of randomness […]

What To Do If Model Test Results Are Worse than Training. The procedure when evaluating machine learning models is to fit and evaluate them on training data, then verify that the model has good skill on a held-back test dataset. Often, you will get a very promising performance when evaluating the model on the training […]
