A guide to Base Rate Fallacy in machine learning

#artificialintelligence

Performances of machine learning models are obtained by testing them. We use many statistical tests but also one thing that we all are aware of is that no statistical test is perfect. Some errors in models are easy to understand but hard to capture. The base rate fallacy can be considered an easy to understand but hard to find error. The concept of base rate fallacy is taken from behavioral science.
