In most supervised machine learning tasks, best practice recommends to split your data into three independent sets: a training set, a testing set, and a validation set. To demo the reasons for splitting data in this manner, we will pretend that we have a dataset made of pets of the following two types: Cats: Dogs: For each pet in the dataset we know only two features: weight and fluffiness. Our goal is to make use of the different data splits and identify a best model for classifying a given pet as either a cat or a dog, based on the available features.

The Importance of Data Splitting By Jared Wilber & Brent Werness In most supervised machine learning tasks, best practice recommends to split your data into three independent sets: a training set , a testing set , and a validation set . To learn why, let's pretend that we have a dataset of two types of pets: Cats : Dogs : Each pet in our dataset has two features: weight and fluffiness . Our goal is to identify and evaluate suitable models for classifying a given pet as either a cat or a dog. We'll use train/test/validations splits to do this!
