What are cross-validation and bootstrapping?
Cross-validation and bootstrapping are both methods for estimating generalization error based on “resampling” (Weiss and Kulikowski 1991; Efron and Tibshirani 1993; Hjorth 1994; Plutowski, Sakata, and White 1994; Shao and Tu 1995). The resulting estimates of generalization error are often used for choosing among various models, such as different network architectures.
