§1
The accuracy of a machine learning system is measured as the percentage of correct predictions or classifications made by the model over a specific data set. It is typically estimated using a test or "hold out" sample, other than the one(s) used to construct the model. Its complement, the error rate, is the proportion of incorrect predictions on the same data.
