How to prepare data for K-fold cross-validation in Machine Learning | by Andrew D #datascience | Dec, 2022
Image by authorCross-validation is the first technique to use to avoid overfitting and data leakage when we want to train a predictive model on our data.Its function is essential as it allows us to test functions and logics on our data in a safe way — namely, avoiding that these processes contaminate our validation data.If we want to do preprocessing, feature engineering or other transformations, we must always first partition our data correctly.This ensures that our validation data is actually representative of our…
