Machine Learning Random Forest with Python from Scratch - Overfitting and Underfitting

The video tutorial discusses the concepts of overfitting and underfitting in data modeling. Overfitting occurs when a model performs well on training data but poorly on testing data due to excessive flexibility. Underfitting happens when a model is too rigid, failing to perform well on both training and testing data. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of finding a balance between these two extremes to create an effective model. It also provides real-life examples to illustrate these concepts and hints at practical implementation in future sessions.

What is overfitting in the context of modeling data?

What is the relationship between training set performance and testing set performance in overfitting?

How does a flexible model contribute to overfitting?

How can the concepts of overfitting and underfitting be applied to real-life scenarios?

Define underfitting and explain how it differs from overfitting.

What are the consequences of a model that is not flexible at all?

What is the suggested solution to avoid both overfitting and underfitting?
