Chapter 8: Evaluating and Optimizing Models

It is now time to learn how to evaluate and optimize machine learning models. During the process of modeling, or even after model completion, you might want to understand how your model is performing. Each type of model has its own set of metrics that can be used to evaluate performance, and that is what we are going to study in this chapter.

Apart from model evaluation, as a data scientist, you might also need to improve your model's performance by tuning the hyperparameters of your algorithm. We will take a look at some nuances of this modeling task.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

• Introducing model evaluation
• Evaluating classification models
• Evaluating regression models
• Model ...
