How does the train test split work in Machine Learning?

Train test split is a procedure to estimate the performance of the specific machine
learning algorithm where it is used to make predictions on the data which is not used to
train the model which requires a large dataset needed in order to execute this
procedure. It is an easy technique to perform where it allows you to compare the
performance for predictive modeling problems. But it also has some limitations to
consider especially when you are just using a small dataset.

This procedure involves randomly dividing the dataset into two separate parts:
the first part for training of the model and the second part is for testing its performance.
First set (which is the training set is used to train the model, while the other will be kept
as it is at first. But when the model is trained, this comes the evaluation where it will be
evaluated through the testing set in order to assess on how it went well or how good the
evaluation is.

On the other hand, this procedure is not applicable to the small datasets where in
the mentioned procedure, the small dataset provided for instance, will not be enough in
the training of the dataset. In addition to that, the evaluation of the model performance
will not be enough either.

This procedure makes the work easier to evaluate the machine learning in
predictive modeling datasets. Train test split goal is to act on how well the model will
perform to the unseen data and be able to determine the probability of issues on the
model.
