What Is Overfitting? Telltale Super-Accuracy on Training Data When machine learning models show exceptional accuracy on training data sets, but perform poorly on new, unseen data, they are guilty of overfitting. Overfitting happens when models “learn” from noise in data
Factoring and Time Series How date and time features are important in models. Many data sets contain date-time fields which we hope will provide predictive value in our models. But date-time fields in the form of MM-DD-YYY HH:SS are essentially unique
