Elastic net regularizationIn statistics and, in particular, in the fitting of linear or logistic regression models, the elastic net is a regularized regression method that linearly combines the L1 and L2 penalties of the lasso and ridge methods. The elastic net method overcomes the limitations of the LASSO (least absolute shrinkage and selection operator) method which uses a penalty function based on Use of this penalty function has several limitations. For example, in the "large p, small n" case (high-dimensional data with few examples), the LASSO selects at most n variables before it saturates.
Dilemme biais-varianceEn statistique et en apprentissage automatique, le dilemme (ou compromis) biais–variance est le problème de minimiser simultanément deux sources d'erreurs qui empêchent les algorithmes d'apprentissage supervisé de généraliser au-delà de leur échantillon d'apprentissage : Le biais est l'erreur provenant d’hypothèses erronées dans l'algorithme d'apprentissage. Un biais élevé peut être lié à un algorithme qui manque de relations pertinentes entre les données en entrée et les sorties prévues (sous-apprentissage).
Coefficient de déterminationvignette|Illustration du coefficient de détermination pour une régression linéaire. Le coefficient de détermination est égal à 1 moins le rapport entre la surface des carrés bleus et la surface des carrés rouges. En statistique, le coefficient de détermination linéaire de Pearson, noté R ou r, est une mesure de la qualité de la prédiction d'une régression linéaire. où n est le nombre de mesures, la valeur de la mesure , la valeur prédite correspondante et la moyenne des mesures.
Statistical model validationIn statistics, model validation is the task of evaluating whether a chosen statistical model is appropriate or not. Oftentimes in statistical inference, inferences from models that appear to fit their data may be flukes, resulting in a misunderstanding by researchers of the actual relevance of their model. To combat this, model validation is used to test whether a statistical model can hold up to permutations in the data.
Regression validationIn statistics, regression validation is the process of deciding whether the numerical results quantifying hypothesized relationships between variables, obtained from regression analysis, are acceptable as descriptions of the data. The validation process can involve analyzing the goodness of fit of the regression, analyzing whether the regression residuals are random, and checking whether the model's predictive performance deteriorates substantially when applied to data that were not used in model estimation.
Résidu (statistiques)In statistics and optimization, errors and residuals are two closely related and easily confused measures of the deviation of an observed value of an element of a statistical sample from its "true value" (not necessarily observable). The error of an observation is the deviation of the observed value from the true value of a quantity of interest (for example, a population mean). The residual is the difference between the observed value and the estimated value of the quantity of interest (for example, a sample mean).
Racine de l'erreur quadratique moyenneLa racine de l'erreur quadratique moyenne (REQM) ou racine de l'écart quadratique moyen (en anglais, root-mean-square error ou RMSE, et root-mean-square deviation ou RMSD) est une mesure fréquemment utilisée des différences entre les valeurs (valeurs d'échantillon ou de population) prédites par un modèle ou estimateur et les valeurs observées (ou vraies valeurs). La REQM représente la racine carrée du deuxième moment d'échantillonnage des différences entre les valeurs prédites et les valeurs observées.
Simple linear regressionIn statistics, simple linear regression is a linear regression model with a single explanatory variable. That is, it concerns two-dimensional sample points with one independent variable and one dependent variable (conventionally, the x and y coordinates in a Cartesian coordinate system) and finds a linear function (a non-vertical straight line) that, as accurately as possible, predicts the dependent variable values as a function of the independent variable. The adjective simple refers to the fact that the outcome variable is related to a single predictor.
Predictive modellingPredictive modelling uses statistics to predict outcomes. Most often the event one wants to predict is in the future, but predictive modelling can be applied to any type of unknown event, regardless of when it occurred. For example, predictive models are often used to detect crimes and identify suspects, after the crime has taken place. In many cases, the model is chosen on the basis of detection theory to try to guess the probability of an outcome given a set amount of input data, for example given an email determining how likely that it is spam.
Model selectionModel selection is the task of selecting a model from among various candidates on the basis of performance criterion to choose the best one. In the context of learning, this may be the selection of a statistical model from a set of candidate models, given data. In the simplest cases, a pre-existing set of data is considered. However, the task can also involve the design of experiments such that the data collected is well-suited to the problem of model selection.
Analyse prédictiveL'analyse (ou logique) prédictive englobe une variété de techniques issues des statistiques, d'extraction de connaissances à partir de données et de la théorie des jeux qui analysent des faits présents et passés pour faire des hypothèses prédictives sur des événements futurs. Dans le monde des affaires, des modèles prédictifs exploitent des schémas découverts à l'intérieur des ensembles de données historiques et transactionnelles pour identifier les risques et les opportunités.
Generalization errorFor supervised learning applications in machine learning and statistical learning theory, generalization error (also known as the out-of-sample error or the risk) is a measure of how accurately an algorithm is able to predict outcome values for previously unseen data. Because learning algorithms are evaluated on finite samples, the evaluation of a learning algorithm may be sensitive to sampling error. As a result, measurements of prediction error on the current data may not provide much information about predictive ability on new data.
