Negative Avoidable Bias Indicates Training Set Overfitting

If the avoidable bias number is negative, the algorithm is doing better on the training set than the optimal error rate. This means the algorithm is overfitting on the training set and has over-memorized the training set, so one should focus on variance reduction methods rather than further bias reduction methods.
