Whenever a data scientist works to predict or classify a problem, they first detect accuracy by using the trained model to the train set and then to the test set. If the accuracy is satisfactory, i.e., both the training and testing accuracy are good, then a particular model is considered for further development. But sometimes,…

A machine learning model is only as good as the data it’s trained on. In other words, the poor performance of a model is mainly due to overfitting and underfitting. Overfitting happens when the model is modelled ‘too well’ on the training data. Underfitting refers to a model that can neither model the training data…
