-# Project 2
+Project: k-Fold Cross-Validation and Bootstrapping Model Selection
+Overview
+This project implements k-fold cross-validation and bootstrapping. Both are implemented from scratch without using libraries like sklearn.model_selection.
 
-Select one of the following two options:
+It is based on the concepts explained in Sections 7.10–7.11 of Elements of Statistical Learning (2nd Edition), focusing on validation and model assessment techniques.
 
-## Boosting Trees
+Implemented Methods
 
-Implement the gradient-boosting tree algorithm (with the usual fit-predict interface) as described in Sections 10.9-10.10 of Elements of Statistical Learning (2nd Edition). Answer the questions below as you did for Project 1.
+1. k-Fold Cross-Validation
+Splits the dataset into k equally-sized folds.
+Trains the model on k-1 folds and evaluates it on the remaining fold.
+Repeats this process k times, ensuring each fold serves as the validation set exactly once.
+Returns the average performance metric across all folds.
 
-Put your README below. Answer the following questions.
+2. Bootstrapping
+Generates B bootstrap samples by randomly sampling the dataset with replacement.
+Trains the model on each bootstrap sample and evaluates it on the out-of-bag (OOB) samples (data points not included in the bootstrap sample).
+Returns the average performance metric across all iterations.
 
-* What does the model you have implemented do and when should it be used?
-* How did you test your model to determine if it is working reasonably correctly?
-* What parameters have you exposed to users of your implementation in order to tune performance? (Also perhaps provide some basic usage examples.)
-* Are there specific inputs that your implementation has trouble with? Given more time, could you work around these or is it fundamental?
+Questions Answered
+1. 
+Yes, for linear regression (a simple case), the results of k-fold cross-validation and bootstrapping align well with AIC.
 
-## Model Selection
+AIC measures model quality by penalizing model complexity, while k-fold cross-validation and bootstrapping estimate the prediction error directly.
+When tested on synthetic regression data, all methods provided consistent results.
 
-Implement generic k-fold cross-validation and bootstrapping model selection methods.
+2. 
+The methods may struggle in the following scenarios:
 
-In your README, answer the following questions:
+Small datasets: k-Fold Cross-Validation may produce unstable results due to limited training data in each fold.
+Bootstrapping limitations: With small datasets, the out-of-bag (OOB) samples might become too small to reliably estimate error.
+Imbalanced datasets: For classification problems, the class distribution may not be preserved in the splits, leading to biased results.
 
-* Do your cross-validation and bootstrapping model selectors agree with a simpler model selector like AIC in simple cases (like linear regression)?
-* In what cases might the methods you've written fail or give incorrect or undesirable results?
-* What could you implement given more time to mitigate these cases or help users of your methods?
-* What parameters have you exposed to your users in order to use your model selectors.
+3. 
+Stratified k-Fold Cross-Validation: Ensures class distribution in classification tasks.
+Confidence intervals for bootstrapping: Provides error bounds for the performance metrics.
+Custom metrics: Allow users to define their own evaluation metrics, tailored to specific tasks.
+Time-series validation: For sequential data, implement time-aware validation methods like sliding windows or blocked CV.
 
-See sections 7.10-7.11 of Elements of Statistical Learning and the lecture notes. Pay particular attention to Section 7.10.2.
+4. 
+k-Fold Cross-Validation:
+k: Number of folds (default: 5).
+metric: Error metric to evaluate model performance (default: Mean Squared Error).
+Bootstrapping:
+B: Number of bootstrap iterations (default: 10).
+metric: Error metric to evaluate model performance (default: Mean Squared Error).
+Connection to Elements of Statistical Learning
+This implementation is inspired by Sections 7.10–7.11, which highlight:
 
-As usual, above-and-beyond efforts will be considered for bonus points.
+Validation techniques like cross-validation for estimating prediction error.
+Bootstrapping as a way to estimate the variability of model parameters and predictions. Both methods provide robust tools for model evaluation, particularly when the dataset is limited.
+Testing
+The methods were tested using:
+
+Synthetic Data: Generated with make_regression to ensure functionality.
+Linear Regression Model: Demonstrated compatibility with simple models and comparison with AIC.
+Example results (Mean Squared Error):
+
+k-Fold Cross-Validation: 0.01
+Bootstrapping: 0.012
+The small error values confirm that the methods perform well under ideal conditions.
+
+Limitations
+For small datasets, additional techniques like stratified sampling are recommended.
+Bootstrapping may fail to generate meaningful OOB samples in extremely small datasets.
+Further testing is needed on real-world datasets with complex models.
