Model Prediction Accuracy Versus Interpretation in Machine Learning

Last Updated on August 15, 2020 In their book Applied Predictive Modeling, Kuhn and Johnson comment early on the trade-off of model prediction accuracy versus model interpretation. For a given problem, it is critical to have a clear idea of the which is a priority, accuracy or explainability so that this trade-off can be made explicitly rather than implicitly. In this post you will discover and consider this important trade-off. Model Accuracy vs ExplainabilityPhoto by Donald Hobern, some rights reserved […]
