Why this matters in ML

Bias–variance, train/val/test, and PAC learning give the mathematical lens for 'when does the model work on data it hasn't seen?' — the central question of supervised ML.

Bias–Variance Decomposition
Every model's expected error decomposes into three terms — bias, variance, and irreducible noise. Knowing which one dominates tells you whet…
