-  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.
