Event Details

The idea of building analytical models is based on constructive feedback: you build a model, get feedback from metrics, make improvements, and then iterate until you achieve a desirable accuracy. Model Evaluation is a core part of this process as it helps to find not only the best model that represents your data but also how well the chosen model will work in the future. In this meetup, we explore various techniques in evaluating your analytical models.
