The definitions of bias and variance used here are chosen to convey insight on how to improve a learning algorithm and differ from how statisticians define bias and variance. Technically, what is defined here as Bias should be called Error we attribute to bias, and Avoidable bias should be called error attributed to the learning algorithm's bias that is over the optimal error rate.
