Preparing data for a model

ML models are very dependent upon the datasets used to train and test the given model. A frequent problem in ML is overfitting. Overfitting means that the model does not generalize well from training data to unseen data, especially data that is unlike the training data. Common causes include the presence of  bias in the training data, meaning the model cannot distinguish between the signal and the noise.
