Leave-one-out cross-validation is a model validation technique where a single observation from the dataset is used as the validation set, while the remaining observations form the training set. This process is repeated such that each observation in the dataset gets to be in the validation set exactly once, ensuring that every data point is utilized for both training and validation. It provides an unbiased estimate of the model’s performance but can be computationally expensive, especially with large datasets.
congrats on reading the definition of leave-one-out cross-validation (LOOCV). now let's actually learn it.
