Template

Do not report a model's accuracy or predictive power measured on the same data used to fit it. In-sample fit demonstrates nothing about performance on new data, and a flexible model can memorize its training set. Do not present a performance claim without a genuine holdout, cross-validation, or out-of-time test, and do not let in-sample metrics stand in for predictive value.
