Study finds dataset statistical effect size doesn't predict model performance

Researchers explored whether basic statistical measures of a dataset, specifically the effect size of features, could predict model performance and the required sample size for training. Their experiments investigated if a larger effect size correlates with better classifier success and faster convergence. The findings suggest that effect size is not a reliable heuristic for assessing data adequacy or projecting model performance, indicating a need for further research in this area. AI
