Validation is the process of using part of a data set to estimate model parameters and using another part to assess the predictive ability of a model. With complex data, this can reduce the risk of model overfitting.
A validation column partitions the data into two or three parts.
•
The training set is used to estimate the model parameters.
•
The validation set is used to help choose a model with good predictive ability.
•
The testing set checks the model’s predictive ability after a model has been chosen.
A validation column can be used as a validation method in the Fit Model platform.
