Baseline Models
Baseline Models groups the core ideas a learner needs at the 7 · modelling & training stage. Work through the lessons in order when new to the area, or use them independently as a reference when implementing an analysis.
Learn the mechanism one decision at a time
Work through the lessons in order if the topic is new. If you already know the basics, open the specific leaf lesson that matches the operation, diagnostic or failure mode you need.

Dummy classifier and regressorDummy classifier and regressor is a practical concept within Baseline Models. It helps turn the broader workflow stage “7 · Modelling & Training” into an explicit analytical decision that can be explained, implemented and checked. The concept should be understood in terms of purpose, mechanism, assumptions, evidence and downstream consequences.
02Mean / median regression baselineMean / median regression baseline is a practical concept within Baseline Models. It helps turn the broader workflow stage “7 · Modelling & Training” into an explicit analytical decision that can be explained, implemented and checked. The concept should be understood in terms of purpose, mechanism, assumptions, evidence and downstream consequences.
03Majority-class baselineMajority-class baseline is a practical concept within Baseline Models. It helps turn the broader workflow stage “7 · Modelling & Training” into an explicit analytical decision that can be explained, implemented and checked. The concept should be understood in terms of purpose, mechanism, assumptions, evidence and downstream consequences.
04Simple linear baselineSimple linear baseline represents a family or practice in model building. The central idea is to define what structure can be learned, how model quality is measured during fitting, and how generalisation is tested on observations not used to choose the model.
05Why baselines prevent self-deceptionWhy baselines prevent self-deception is a practical concept within Baseline Models. It helps turn the broader workflow stage “7 · Modelling & Training” into an explicit analytical decision that can be explained, implemented and checked. The concept should be understood in terms of purpose, mechanism, assumptions, evidence and downstream consequences.
