Train-Test split and Cross-validation: Visual Illustrations & Examples

Creating an optimal model that strikes a balance between underfitting and overfitting requires careful consideration. To assess how well our model performs on new, unseen data, we employ the train-test split technique and cross-validation. Train-Test Split: To evaluate a model’s performance, we split the dataset into a training set (approximately 70-90% of the data) and …

Non-linear Relationships: When a 0 Pearson Correlation Coefficient Can Be Surprisingly Meaningful

The Pearson correlation coefficient (denoted as “r”) is widely used in statistics to measure the strength and direction of linear relationships between variables, ranging from -1 (perfect negative linear correlation) to +1 (perfect positive linear correlation). A Pearson correlation coefficient of 0 typically implies the absence of a linear relationship between variables. However, the term …

Standard Deviation vs Standard Error: Clearing up the Confusion with Visual Examples

Standard deviation and standard error are two statistical measures that often get confused with each other. While both measures describe the variability in the data, they serve different purposes. Standard deviation measures the spread of the data. It calculates how far the individual data points deviate from the mean of the data set. A low …

A Beginner’s Guide to t-tests: Real-life Applications of t-test: One-Sample, Two Sample and Paired Sample t-test

William Sealy Gosset, an English statistician who was also a beer brewer, developed the t-test. He used this test to ensure the consistency and quality of the beer he produced. Gosset published his work under the pseudonym “Student”, which is why the t-test is also known as the Student’s t-test. There are three types of …
