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

Streams on views support both local views and views shared using Snowflake Secure Data Sharing, including secure views. Currently, streams cannot track changes in materialized views.

stream itself does not contain any table data. A stream only stores an offset for the source object and returns CDC records by leveraging the versioning history for the source object. When the first stream for a table is created, several hidden columns are added to the source table and begin storing change tracking metadata. These columns consume a small amount of storage. The CDC records returned when querying a stream rely on a combination of the offset stored in the stream and the change tracking metadata stored in the table. Note that for streams on views, change tracking must be enabled explicitly for the view and underlying tables to add the hidden columns to these tables.

Streams support repeatable read isolation. In repeatable read mode, multiple SQL statements within a transaction see the same set of records in a stream. This differs from the read committed mode supported for tables, in which statements see any changes made by previous statements executed within the same transaction, even though those changes are not yet committed.

The delta records returned by streams in a transaction is the range from the current position of the stream until the transaction start time. The stream position advances to the transaction start time if the transaction commits; otherwise it stays at the same position.

Window Functions

A window function operates on a group (“window”) of related rows.

Each time a window function is called, it is passed a row (the current row in the window) and the window of rows that contain the current row. The window function returns one output row for each input row. The output depends on the individual row passed to the function and the values of the other rows in the window passed to the function.

Some window functions are order-sensitive. There are two main types of order-sensitive window functions:

Rank-related functions.

Window frame functions.

Rank-related functions list information based on the “rank” of a row. For example, if you rank stores in descending order by profit per year, the store with the most profit will be ranked 1; the second-most profitable store will be ranked 2, etc.

Window frame functions allow you to perform rolling operations, such as calculating a running total or a moving average, on a subset of the rows in the window.
