you have two different vectors with only small change in one of the dimensions. but, the predictions/output from the model is drastically different for each vector. can you explain why this can be the case? and is that a good thing or bad thing? if bad, what can be done to fix it?

Question

Accepted Answer

Small change in one dimension causing drastic difference in model output. Explanation and solution.

This is known as sensitivity to input
It can be caused by non-linearities in the model or overfitting
Regularization techniques can be used to reduce sensitivity
Cross-validation can help identify overfitting
Ensemble methods can help reduce sensitivity
It is generally a bad thing as it indicates instability in the model
