Abstract

Cross‐validation is a common statistical procedure applied to problems that are otherwise computationally intractable. It is often employed to assess the effectiveness of prediction procedures. In this report, cross‐validation is discussed in terms of U‐statistics. This approach permits consideration of the statistical properties of cross‐validation as an approach to assessment of prediction accuracy.
