What are the differences between bootstrapping and other resampling methods?

Bootstrapping is a method of resampling that involves repeatedly drawing samples from a dataset with replacement. Other methods, like cross-validation, involve partitioning the data into subsets. Would you like to know more about a specific method?

Can you explain how cross-validation works?

Sure! Cross-validation involves dividing the dataset into 'k' subsets. The model is trained on 'k-1' subsets and tested on the remaining subset. This process is repeated 'k' times, allowing each subset to be used as a test set once. It's great for assessing model performance!

How does bootstrapping help in estimating the accuracy of a model?

Bootstrapping helps estimate accuracy by creating multiple samples from the original dataset. By training the model on these samples and evaluating it on the out-of-bag data (data not included in the sample), you can get a more reliable estimate of the model's performance.

Are there any limitations to using bootstrapping?

Yes, bootstrapping can be computationally intensive and may not perform well with small datasets. It can also lead to overfitting if the model is too complex relative to the data.
