• 1.5 PROJECT

• 1.3 EVALUATION AND VALIDATION
• 1.3.1 TRAINING AND TESTING
• 1.3.1.1 Benefit of testing
• 1.3.1.2 Train / Test Split in sklearn
• Useful concepts : train_test_split function
• 1.3.2 EVALUATION METRICS
• 1.3.2.1 Metrics
• 1.3.2.2 Classification and Regression
• Useful concepts: Categorical data vs continuous data
• 1.3.2.3 Classification metrics
• Useful concepts: discrete predictions
• 1.3.2.4 Accuracy 
• Useful concepts: proportion of items classified or labeled correctly, my_model.score(X_test, y_test). Shortcoming of accuracy if data is skewed, or need to err on side of innocence or git. Accuracy: no. of items in a class labeled correct / all items in that class (Erron has a small number of innocent people)
• Picking the Most Suitable Metric
• Concept: information asymmetry
• Confusion Matrix
• Concept: if care about asymmetric learning, may want to shift the decision front up or down to include certain results
• Decision Tree: confusion matrix
• Precision and Recall
• Equation for Precision
• Concept: precision = true positives / (true positives and  false positives)
• Equation for Recall
• Concept: precision = true positives / (true positives and  false negatives)
