Machine Learning Fundamentals: Bias and Variance

preview_player
Показать описание
Bias and Variance are two fundamental concepts for Machine Learning, and their intuition is just a little different from what you might have learned in your statistics class. Here I go through two examples that make these concepts super easy to understand.

For a complete index of all the StatQuest videos, check out:

If you'd like to support StatQuest, please consider...

Buying The StatQuest Illustrated Guide to Machine Learning!!!

...or...

...a cool StatQuest t-shirt or sweatshirt:

...buying one or two of my songs (or go large and get a whole album!)

...or just donating to StatQuest!

Lastly, if you want to keep up with me as I research and create new StatQuests, follow me on twitter:

0:00 Awesome song and introduction
0:29 The data and the "true" model
1:23 Splitting the data into training and testing sets
1:40 Least Regression fit to the training data
2:16 Definition of Bias
2:33 Squiggly Line fit to the training data
3:40 Model performance with the testing dataset
4:06 Definition of Variance
5:10 Definition of Overfit

Correction:
4:06 I say that the difference in fits between the training dataset and the testing dataset is called Variance. However, I should have said that the difference is a _consequence_ of variance. Technically, variance refers to the amount by which the predictions would change if we fit the model to a different training data set.

4 hours of the lectures with a lot of complicated math: got nothing
6 minutes with the singing guy: *DOUBLE BAM*

Better than lots of courses on Udemy. I really like your humor

This guy has united his two passions—Machine Learning and guitar.

I went from BUMMED to DOUBLE BAM in six and a half minutes. God bless you!

LOL What a way to present dry material with a dry approach yet making it interesting and easy to follow :-) Great job!

Notes for myself:
Def. of Bias: The inability for a machine learning method to capture the true relationship is called Bias.
Def. of Variance: The difference in fits between data sets is called Variance.

I am currently in a trainee program to learn machine learning...my teachers suggested this channel. This is awesome

The world of learning is still enjoyble cuz of people like you are still present

I have paid for courses on edX and also have many free resources available to me through school- nothing has explained Bias and Variance as quickly and efficiently as you have in this video. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!

My masters course in ML has been challenging. Getting washed over with lots of maths with greek (I've only taken calc I) and statistical jargon (never taken stats) when I am a simple computer science pleb has made class really hard. These videos are making light work of looking past the confusing figures and long-winded over-technical lectures! Thank you, Josh. Thanks, StatQuest!

Wow this was so straight to the point with great visuals that I managed to figure out all in one go! Great stuff!

you just did it in a perfect way. I've read blogs, "best ML books", and other resources, but you just nailed this. thank you!

After watching more than hundred of videos on machine learning, i find your way of explanation very easy to understand and digest. Plus, i am really amazed with the way you start your lectures and wait for 'BAM' to come.

I have watched many of Josh's videos several times. Whenever I find myself trying to remember a concept, I know that a StatQuest video will sort me out in 10 minutes or less

Sir I must say you are the Gem. This 6:35 Mins video has taught me what our Phd Dr. 3 Hrs with 50 slides cant.... Hat's off

Your teaching is so clear and elaborate unlike others.

BAM ! Mindblowing how clearly explained these videos are, with even a sense of humour and some home made music. Really nice work, hats off.

You are probably the best resource when it comes to understanding the fundamentals of Machine Learning... like it's not even close

This guy is awesome... this video actually explain bias and variance To Me finally. I have watch lots of other video but it was this video who taught me this concept
