How does tuning hyperparameters affect the quality of your model fit?
In data science, the quality of a model's fit to the data can significantly impact its predictive accuracy. Hyperparameters, which are the settings and configurations external to the model's training data, play a crucial role in this fit. Unlike model parameters, which are learned during training, hyperparameters are set before training begins and can greatly affect the model's ability to generalize from the training data to unseen data. Proper tuning of these hyperparameters is essential for optimizing model performance.
