    Part of a larger discussion

    Challenges→A generalized bias-variance decomposition applicable to a variety of loss functions, including 0-1 loss, is available.

    A decomposition that requires redefining 'bias' and 'variance' relative to each loss function yields family-relative, not universal, concepts—undermining the claim of genuine generalization.

    Key Terms

    Family-relative(as used in logic and philosophy of science)
    Dependent on or specific to a particular group or category, rather than being true for everything.
    Generalization(Used in SQML proofs involving quantifiers)
    A proof rule in SQML by which a universally quantified formula is derived from an open formula, e.g. deriving ∀x(Fx → Fx) from the tautology Fx → Fx
    Loss function(as used in machine learning)
    A mathematical tool that measures how wrong a model's predictions are—the bigger the loss, the worse the predictions.
    Universal concepts(the types of ideas the statement says we create from experience)
    General ideas that apply to many individual things—for example, 'redness' or 'friendship' that exist across many different specific instances.

    (bias-variance decomposition)
    A measure of how far an estimator's expected prediction is from the true target value; large bias indicates systematic error.
    decomposition(Contrasted along functional versus structural lines)
    The analysis of a system into parts, which is not univocal and can generate competing and complementary sets of part representations depending on the principles utilized.
    variance(bias-variance decomposition)
    A measure of how much an estimator's prediction changes across different training datasets; a constant predictor has zero variance.
