Other terms from the same lesson
- cross-validation: Scoring a model several times on different held-back slices of the data, for a steadier estimate.
- fold: One of the equal slices that cross-validation cuts the data into. Each fold takes a turn as the held-back data.
- hyperparameter: A setting you choose before training, such as tree depth or learning rate, rather than one the model learns.
