The holdout evaluation method conventionally splits data into 2/3 training and 1/3 test sets

Dependents

These beliefs depend on this one:

• IN ml-three-evaluation-methodologies-tradeoff — ML model evaluation has three standard methodologies — holdout splitting (simple but data-wasteful), k-fold cross-validation (balanced but k-times more expensive), and bootstrap sampling (statistically rich but with replacement effects) — each trading computational cost for estimation reliability.
