 Cross-validation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In statistics cross-validation is the practice of partitioning a sample of data into subsamples such that analysis is initially performed on a single subsample, while further subsamples are retained "blind" in order for subsequent use in confirming and validating the initial analysis.
The theory of cross-validation was inaugurated by Seymour Geisser.
Cross-validation is very important in guarding against testing hypotheses suggested by the data, especially where further samples are hazardous, costly or impossible (uncomfortable science) to collect.
