### Avoidable bias

- Suppose that the cat classification algorithm gives these percentages:
- Suppose that the cat classification algorithm gives these results:

| Humans | 1% | 7.5% |
| ------------------ | ---- | ---- |
| **Training error** | 8% | 8% |
| **Dev Error** | 10% | 10% |

- In the left example, if the human level error is 1% then we have to focus on the **bias**.
- In the right example, if the human level error is 7.5% then we have to focus on the **variance**.
- In the latest examples we have used the human level as a proxy form Bayes optimal error because humans vision is too good.
- In the left example, because the human level error is 1% then we have to focus on the **bias**.
- In the right example, because the human level error is 7.5% then we have to focus on the **variance**.
- The human-level error as a proxy (estimate) for Bayes optimal error. Bayes optimal error is always less (better), but human-level in most cases is not far from it.
- You can't do better then Bayes error unless you are overfitting.
- `Avoidable bias = Training error - Human (Bayes) error`
- `Variance = Dev error - Training error`
