Figure 1: Overview of topics being covered in this lecture in the context of topics related to model evaluation that we will cover at a later point in time. 8.2 Overfitting and Underfitting The overall goal in machine learning is to obtain a model/hypothesis that generalizes well to new, unseen data. Sebastian Raschka STAT479 FS18. L01: Intro to Machine Learning Page 2 In other words, we want a model that generalizes well to unseen data, which we can measure, for example, by using an independent test set – while it sounds like this should be very straightforward, there are some pitfalls which we will discuss in the next lecture. Some of the evaluation metrics we can use to measure the performance on the test set are the prediction ac
