What is Cross-Validation?
Cross-validation is a statistical method used to estimate the skill of machine

several data subsets, you can improve the robustness and accuracy of
the model.
Types of Cross-Validation
1. K-Fold Cross-Validation
This is the most popular form of cross-validation where the data is divided into
‘K’ subsets. The model is trained on K-1 folds with one fold held back for
testing. This process is repeated such that each fold gets a chance to be the test
set.
problems and deals with imbalanced datasets. It ensures that each fold of the
dataset has the same proportion of examples in each class as the complete set.
the number of data points in the dataset. This means that each learning set is
created by taking all the data except one point, and the model is tested on that
cross-validation ensures that the training set always precedes the test set. This
prevents the model from learning future data points during training.
