10. Cross-Validation From Scratch and a Surprise at n=100 (www.kenkoonwong.com)

Textbooks say LOOCV has the lowest bias but highest variance compared to 10 and 5-fold. Coded a K-Fold CV from scratch for learning to test that on simulated data πŸ”πŸ“Š β€” and at n=1000 it holds up. At n=100? Not so much. πŸ€”

The author tests K-Fold Cross-Validation against Leave-One-Out Cross-Validation using simulated data, revealing surprising performance differences at smaller sample sizes. This analysis highlights how traditional expectations about bias and variance may not hold true in practice.
