- Given a large data set,
, suppose we apply learning
algorithm
to
to construct classifier
; how
accurately will
classify new examples? - The classifier
may have been constructed using part of the
data, but there is enough data remaining for a separate test set.
Measure the accuracy of
on the test set and construct a binomial
confidence interval. Note
need not have been produced by a
learning algorithm.
