Chapter 15: Generalization Prediction and Assessment

Overview

The following sections outline some approaches to predicting and estimating generalization ability, either a priori from static parameters such as network size, or after observing training performance. The problem of estimating the true performance of a prediction system trained on a limited data set is a basic statistics problem so it is not surprising that many of these methods are direct applications of statistical techniques. Techniques mentioned here are covered in more depth in [44], [389], [317].
