shrinkage
Gillette's razor - Precise Answer ✔✔parsimony

minority class or ________________ the majority class.
You are given a dataset that has many duplicate entries, that is customers who appear multiple times in

When working with linear or logistic regression, categorical variables must have one subtype removed
when one-hot encoding (dummy coding) or else the model will fail.
