The underfitting



Example: Underfitting occurs when model fails to capture underlying data patterns

Definition


"The underfitting" refers to a situation in machine learning and statistics where a model is too simple to capture the underlying patterns in the data, resulting in poor performance on both training and new data sets. It occurs when the model fails to learn enough from the data.

Etymology


The term "the underfitting" comes from the combination of "under-" meaning insufficient or too little, and "fitting" referring to how well a model fits data. It originates from statistical modeling and machine learning jargon, highlighting when a model fits data inadequately. Did you know? The opposite of underfitting is overfitting, where the model fits data too closely.
