Model Complexity InfluenceΒΆ
Demonstrate how model complexity influences both prediction accuracy and computational performance.
The dataset is the Boston Housing dataset (resp. 20 Newsgroups) for regression (resp. classification).
For each class of models we make the model complexity vary through the choice of relevant model parameters and measure the influence on both computational performance (latency) and predictive power (MSE or Hamming Loss).
