Now that you've visited the art of capturing complex relationships with polynomial and interaction terms, this video introduces two powerful allies in your quest: lasso and ridge regression, kind of like adding safety gear to your skateboarding toolkit. In the world of skateboarding, overcomplicating a trick with unnecessary flips and spins might not only miss the mark, but also lead to a spectacular wipe out. Similarly, a regression model that's too complex risks overfitting your data, performing well on your current dataset, but failing to generalize to new or unseen data. Overfitting is like a skater who's only mastered a specific ramp in their local park, but struggles with any new terrain. Lasso regression helps us avoid overfitting by applying a penalty to the absolute size of the regression coefficients.
