Note
Learning Objectives
By the end of this chapter, you will be able to:
Explain the importance of evaluating models
Evaluate regression and classification models using a number of metrics
Choose the right metric for evaluating and tuning a model
Explain the importance of hold-out datasets and types of sampling
Perform hyperparameter tuning to find the best model
Calculate feature importance and explain why they are important
Note
This chapter introduces us to how we can improve a model's performance by using hyperparameters and model evaluation metrics.
