Accuracy is a problem, but more precisely, the problems in interpolation and extrapolation are not revealed using any accuracy metrics and only arise when new data points are encountered after the model is deployed. This month, a second problem with overfitting is the model interpretation. Predictive modeling algorithms find variables that associate or correlate with the target variable. When models are
