mean(): calculate MSE of the 196 observations in validation set
-train: selects only observations that are not in training set
poly(): estimate test error for polynomial and cubic regressions
glm() and cv.glm(): computes any generalized linear model
glm(): performs logistic regression by passing in family = “binomial”
glm(): performs linear regression when there is no family argument (=lm())
