StatQuest with Josh Starmer via YouTube

Overview

Learn about Ridge Regression, a powerful technique to prevent overfitting in machine learning models, in this 20-minute educational video. Explore how Ridge Regression desensitizes models to training data, solves unsolvable equations, and applies to various scenarios including discrete variables, logistic regression, and complex models. Discover its benefits when working with limited data and gain a comprehensive understanding of this regularization method. Build upon previous knowledge of bias, variance, linear regression, t-tests, ANOVA, design matrices, and cross-validation to enhance your grasp of statistical concepts and machine learning techniques.
