Issues
- It's not clear on how many cases to assign to the training and validation sets
- The result might highly depend on the algorithm which is used to split the data into training and validation set
- Notion of "increasing validation error" is ambiguous; it may go up and down numerous times during training. The safest approach is to train to convergence, then determine which iteration had the lowest validation error. This impairs fast training, one of the advantages of early stopping.

Famous quotes containing the word issues:
“Cynicism formulates issues clearly, but only to dismiss them.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Your toddler will be “good” if he feels like doing what you happen to want him to do and does not happen to feel like doing anything you would dislike. With a little cleverness you can organize life as a whole, and issues in particular, so that you both want the same thing most of the time.”
—Penelope Leach (20th century)
