Do business decisions require more data or beter models? bias-eariance trade-of:
B as results from an incomplete representaton of the true data-neneratnn mechanism
(DGM) by a model because of simplifyinn assumptons. A less complex model ofen has a
hinher biasn but a model needs to simplify reality to proeide neneralizable insinhts;
Var ance results from random eariaton in the data due to samplinn and measurement error.
A larner eolume of data reduces the eariance. Complex models calibrated on smaller data
sets ofen oeer-fit the data (they capture random error rather than the DGM).
