What is Bias and Variance Tradeoff
You don't want the model to over- or under-fit. You have to strive to find the right balance between the two. That is the bias-variance tradeoff.
About
I am a veteran. I spent years in intelligence analysis, where being confidently wrong carried a cost, and that is where I learned to separate what evidence shows from what it suggests. I have a master's in journalism and communications, and I am finishing a doctorate in data science on how findings get communicated. I work in English and Portuguese.
