This review explores methods for estimating prediction rule error rates, including apparent, optimum, and actual rates. Cross-validation and the splitsample approach are discussed for improving prediction accuracy.

Area of Science:

  • Statistics
  • Machine Learning
  • Biostatistics

Background:

  • Accurate estimation of prediction rule error rates is crucial for reliable statistical modeling.
  • Different error rate metrics (apparent, optimum, actual) exist, each with unique implications.
  • Model performance evaluation is essential across various statistical techniques.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and compare methods for estimating the error rate of statistical prediction rules.
  • To demonstrate the utility of cross-validation for obtaining adjusted predictors with reduced error rates.
  • To provide a detailed discussion of error rate estimation in ordinary least squares, logistic regression, and Cox regression.

Main Methods:

  • Review of statistical literature on error rate estimation.
