Case Study

Add a target line to a learning curve for a churn-prediction project.

Case context: A team is building a customer-churn classifier for a subscription app. They track dev-set error over time with a learning curve and have a performance level they hope to reach.

Question: How should that hoped-for performance level be used when reviewing the learning curve?

Sample answer: Plot the desired performance level on the same learning curve so it serves as a visible target for comparison with the dev-set error.

Key points:

  • The desired error rate is the level the team wants the model to reach.
  • Showing it on the learning curve makes the gap to the current dev-set error easy to see.

Rubric: The answer must state that the desired performance level should be placed on the learning curve as a reference target.
