Assessing performance with cross-validation

  1. for each part in turn:
    • use the remaining \(K − 1\) parts as training data to define the interpolation

    • use that part as testing data to predict

    • compute the RMSE by comparing the testing and predicted data in each of the \(K\) parts

      \(RMSE = \sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i = 1}^{n_{test}}(y_{i, test} - \hat{y}_{i, test})^2}{n_{test}}}\)

  2. average the RMSE values obtained in each of the \(K\) parts
