Model Evaluation

Definition

Model evaluation is the process of assessing how well a predictive algorithm or analytical model performs its intended task. This involves comparing the model’s outputs against actual observed data using various statistical metrics and performance indicators to determine its accuracy, reliability, and generalization capabilities. In financial technology, robust model evaluation ensures that trading algorithms, risk assessment tools, or fraud detection systems yield dependable results. Consistent assessment is vital for maintaining system integrity and preventing costly errors.
