• Creating a Validation Column (Holdout Sample)

  Use to subset the data into a set used to build a model (training) and a set used to evaluate a model's predictive performance (validation). If multiple models are fit, the best performer on the validation data is often the one chosen. At times, a third set is used (test) to evaluate the chosen model's predictive performance on new data. This is considered to be a more accurate means to evaluate a...
