Calibration in Binary outcomes

Definition Calibration describs the agreement between observed outcomes and predictions. The most common definition of calibration is that if we observe p% risk among patients with a predicted risk of p%.

Nested Cross Validation

Variable selection

The goal of this article is to gathering thoughts about variable selection. Consensus features nested cross-validation Bioinformatics, Volume 36, Issue 10, 15 May 2020, Pages 3093–3098 Background Feature selection There are multiple ways to use feature selection with classification to address the bias-variance tradeoff.
