Tyranny of Coincidence; When Spurious Relationships In Data Appear Significant | KNIME
Summary
The push for organizations to incorporate analytics can result in rushed analyses with unreliable insights, even when many established best practices have been followed. A common root cause is what we refer to as the Tyranny of Coincidence, where spurious relationships in data appear significant. Is your organization relying on categorical attributes with dozens of levels to inform critical models? At Elder Research we make model (and insight) validation a primary focus of every project, ensuring our clients can be confident that our work will hold up to time and scrutiny. In this webinar we will discuss some of the techniques we count on to avoid the Tyranny of Coincidence—target shuffling, robust combinations of cross-validation and hold out data, feature engineering, and more - with practical examples in KNIME.
