UDA机器学习基础—误差原因

1.模型误差产生的原因

（1）模型无法表示基本数据的复杂度，而造成偏差。

（2）因模型对训练它所用到的数据过度敏感造成的方差。

2.由偏差造成的误差——准确率和欠拟合

有足够数据表示模型，但是由于模型不够复杂，不能捕捉基本关系，因而造成误差。

这样一来模型会系统的错误表示数据，从而导致准确率降低，这种现象叫做欠拟合。

简单说来就是模型不合适就会造成偏差。

3.方差造成的误差——精度和过拟合

在训练模型时，通常使用较大量数据的有限数据集，如果选择随机选择的数据子集不断对模型进行训练，可以预料它的预测结果会因提供给它的不同训练子集而不同。方差是用来衡量预测结果和所给的测试样本之间的差距。出现方差是正常的，但是方差过高说明该模型无法将预测结果泛化到更多数据。对训练集过渡敏感，称之为过拟合。高方差会导致训练集上效果很好，测试集上效果很差。

通常可以用更多数据来训练降低模型预测的方差，提高模型预测的准确率。如果没有很多数据，可以降低模型的复杂度来减小方差。
