What is K fold?

What is K fold?

K-Fold CV is where a given data set is split into a K number of sections/folds where each fold is used as a testing set at some point. Lets take the scenario of 5-Fold cross validation(K=5). This process is repeated until each fold of the 5 folds have been used as the testing set.

What are the types of cross validation?

TypesLeave-p-out cross-validation.Leave-one-out cross-validation.k-fold cross-validation.Holdout method.Repeated random sub-sampling validation.

What are the advantages of the K fold cross validation technique?

Advantages of K fold or 10-fold cross-validationComputation time is reduced as we repeated the process only 10 times when the value of k is 10.Reduced bias.Every data points get to be tested exactly once and is used in training k-1 times.The variance of the resulting estimate is reduced as k increases.

What is a holdout sample?

Holdout sample is a sample of data not used in fitting a model, used to assess the performance. of that model; this book uses the terms validation set or, if one is used in the problem, test set. instead of holdout sample.

What is holdout period?
