Intro to Business Analytics
A test set is a collection of data used to evaluate the performance of a classification model after it has been trained on a separate training set. The test set is crucial because it allows for assessing how well the model can generalize its learning to unseen data. By using a distinct test set, practitioners can avoid overfitting and ensure that the model maintains its accuracy and reliability in real-world applications.
congrats on reading the definition of test set. now let's actually learn it.
