What you should know
- How overfitting/underfitting can be understood as a tradeoff between high-bias and high-variance learners.
- Mathematically, how to decompose error for linear regression into bias and variance.
- Intuitively, how classification can be decomposed into bias and variance.
- Which sorts of classifier variants lead to more bias and/or more variance: e.g., large vs small k in k-NN, etc.
