Model Validation vs  Model Evaluation

Purpose

White Scribbled Underline

Validation: Involves splitting data into training and validation sets. Evaluation: Uses separate test data after fully training the model.

Process

Validation: Involves splitting data into training and validation sets.   Evaluation: Uses separate test data after fully training the model.

Timing

Validation: Done during the model development phase.   Evaluation: Conducted after the model is trained and tuned.

Focus

Validation: Focuses on fine-tuning model parameters.   Evaluation: Focuses on assessing the final model's accuracy and reliability.

White Scribbled Underline

Validation: Techniques like k-fold cross-validation are used.   Evaluation: Techniques like confusion matrix, ROC curves, and accuracy metrics are used.

Techniques

Iteration

Validation: Iterative process to improve model performance.   Evaluation: Typically, a one-time process to finalize the model's effectiveness.
