What to call model calibration #4

Closed alexpghayes closed 6 years ago

alexpghayes commented 6 years ago

What should we call the process of finding the best set of hyperparameters for a model family?

I've seen the phrase "model calibration" used before, I don't think this is in line with the model/model family breakdown. "Model calibration" makes me think that there is a single model, as opposed to a family of models indexed by hyperparameters.

Maybe this will clarify after the model/model family fit conundrum resolves.
