Last edited: August 8, 2025LOOCV is a cross validation method whereby the entire dataset bar one sample is used for training; then, validation is ran on one sample. This is repeated \(N\) times (with a fresh model and a fresh item left out) to get a distribution of one-shot validation results that is an approximately-normal curve centered around the mean validation result from many one-shot samples.
Legacy of McCarthyism

:claim: Mccarthyism was a process that de-politicized America
Since political activities could get you in trouble, prudent folk avoided them
Social conformaty became standard
middle-class Americans became social conformists
Communism serves as a form of balance checking, which Mccathyism lost
With their demise, the nation lost the institutional network that had created a public space where serious alternatives to the status quo could be presented.
Moderate-left was also diminished
Moreover, with the disappearance of a vigorous movement on their left, moderate reform groups were more exposed to right-wing attacks and thus rendered less effective.
