Some thoughts on machine learning with small data

can you share more about models of life and death stuff with less than 30 samples? (I work tangential to a regulated health industry)

I'd like to stay anonymous on the matter, but I've worked in various regulated industries. Now days I do none of this .

Uh, OK. because if you were doing life and death stuff with 30 samples, people probably died due to false negatives or positives in your model, in a way that would have been better handled with more samples. Sorry to hear it- it's one of the reasons health care is so shitty.

Not healthcare and no one died. My models have been deployed for two years without incident.

oh, sorry- you mean "life and death" as in you had a murderbot (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuFbxeDjRZg_ was my team's contribution) that could kill people, and your model prevented it?

Are you sure you can conclude your system is safe?
