3.1. Cross-validation: evaluating estimator performance

scikit-learn documentation

A guide to model-evaluation splits, including grouped and time-series data, nested model selection and permutation-based assessment.

Investigate How much optimism arises when repeated observations from the same group are split across train and test?

Methods

1.13. Feature selection

scikit-learn documentation

A guide to variance filters, univariate tests, recursive elimination, model-based selection and selection inside pipelines.

Investigate How much apparent accuracy is introduced by selecting features before cross-validation on noise-only data?

Methods

1.16. Probability calibration

scikit-learn documentation

A probability-calibration guide covering reliability curves and sigmoid, isotonic and temperature-scaling approaches.

Investigate How do calibration methods trade off log loss and reliability when the calibration sample is small?

2.7. Novelty and Outlier Detection

scikit-learn documentation

A guide distinguishing outlier detection from novelty detection and comparing assumptions of several anomaly-detection methods.

Methods

5.2. Permutation feature importance

scikit-learn documentation

A model-inspection guide explaining permutation importance and its limitations when predictors are strongly correlated.

Investigate How does duplicating a predictive feature change individual permutation-importance scores while predictive accuracy stays comparable?
