Practical Data Science using Python - Bias and Variance

The video tutorial explains bias and variance, two types of generalization errors in machine learning. Bias is the error from a model's inability to capture data patterns, often due to underfitting. Variance is the error from a model's excessive complexity, leading to overfitting. Irreducible error, inherent in data, cannot be corrected by modeling. The bias-variance tradeoff is crucial in model tuning, aiming for a balance to minimize total error. Visual examples illustrate overfitting and underfitting, emphasizing the importance of model complexity in achieving accurate predictions.
