Explanation

Holdout cross-validation method is suitable for very large dataset because it is the simplest and quicker to compute version of cross-validation.

Holdout method

In this method, the dataset is divided into two sets namely the training and the test set with the basic property that the training set is bigger than the test set. Later, the model is trained on the training dataset and evaluated using the test dataset.

Explanation

Leave-one-out cross-validation (LOO cross-validation) is not suitable for very large datasets due to the fact that this validation technique requires one model for every sample in the training set to be created and evaluated.

Cross validation

It is a technique to evaluate a machine learning model and it is the basis for whole class of model evaluation methods. The goal of cross-validation is to test the model's ability to predict new data that was not used in estimating it. It works by the idea of splitting dataset into number of subsets, keep a subset aside, train the model, and test the model on the holdout subset.

Leave-one-out cross validation

Leave-one-out cross validation is K-fold cross validation taken to its logical extreme, with K equal to N, the number of data points in the set. That means that N separate times, the function approximator is trained on all the data except for one point and a prediction is made for that point. As be-fore the average error is computed and used to evaluate the model. The evaluation given by leave-one-out cross validation is very expensive to compute at first pass.
