Overview of this book

Predictive analytics is a complex domain requiring coding skills, an understanding of the mathematical concepts underpinning machine learning algorithms, and the ability to create compelling data visualizations. Following AWS simplifying Machine learning, this book will help you bring predictive analytics projects to fruition in three easy steps: data preparation, model tuning, and model selection. This book will introduce you to the Amazon Machine Learning platform and will implement core data science concepts such as classification, regression, regularization, overfitting, model selection, and evaluation. Furthermore, you will learn to leverage the Amazon Web Service (AWS) ecosystem for extended access to data sources, implement realtime predictions, and run Amazon Machine Learning projects via the command line and the Python SDK. Towards the end of the book, you will also learn how to apply these services to other problems, such as text mining, and to more complex datasets.

Identifying and correcting poor performances

A performant predictive model is one that produces reliable and satisfying predictions on new data. There are two situations where the model will fail to consistently produce good predictions, and both depend on how the model is trained. A poorly trained model will result in underfitting, while an overly trained model will result in overfitting.

Underfitting

Underfitting means that the model was poorly trained. Either the training dataset did not have enough information to infer strong predictions, or the algorithm that trained the model on the training dataset was not adequate for the context. The algorithm was not well parameterized or simply inadequate for the data.

If we measure the prediction error...
