🤖 Plain-English Summary

Abstract It is common to split a dataset into training and testing sets before fitting a statistical or machine learning model. However, there is no clear guidance on how much data should be used for training and testing.

🔑 Key Findings

  • However, there is no clear guidance on how much data should be used for training and testing.
  • In this article, we show that the optimal training/testing splitting ratio is , where is the number of parameters in a linear regression model that explains the data well.

💡 Why This Matters

This research advances how AI systems learn, reason, and solve problems — with direct implications for automation and scientific discovery.
