Missing data is one of the most common problems in almost all statistical analyses. If the data is not available for all the observations of variables in the model, then it is a case of ‘missing data’.

Bootstrap and jackknife are superficially similar statistical techniques that involve re-sampling the data. They are nonparametric and specific resampling techniques that can estimate standard errors and confidence intervals of a population parameter.

Until recently, Karl Pearson Correlation analysis was one of the most popular methods to measure linear association between two or more than two variables in a data set. For example, establishing the Karl Pearson Correlation between X variable and Y variable, where both variables belong to a single data set. Canonical Correlation Analysis (CCA), on the other hand, helps measure the correlation among variables which are in different datasets.

A decision tree is a graphical representation of possible solutions to a problem based on given conditions. It is called a tree because diagrammatically it starts with a single box (target variable) and ends up in numerous branches and roots (numerous solutions).

Thus to assess the model, a common practice in data science is to iterate over various models and select the most appropriate model. In other words it is important to test the same model with different values of parameters.This is called the cross validation method.
