| Jul 6, 2016 at 13:20 | comment | added | Robert de Graaf | Based on @StephenKolassa's answer, another question you could spin off this one is 'At what point should I take my work so far back to the subject matter experts and discuss my results (or lack of results)?' | |

| Jul 5, 2016 at 19:46 | comment | added | Tim | @Superbest it can be both. If you have something to add, feel free to answer. I never heard of theorem that states anything about dealing with real-life multidimensional noisy data, but if you know one that applies, then I'd be interested to read your answer. | |
| Jul 5, 2016 at 19:43 | comment | added | Matthew Gunn | This sounds similar to the classic halting problem of computer science? Let's say you have some algorithm A of arbitrary complexity which searches over input data D looking for predictive models, and the algorithm halts when it finds a "good" model for the data. Without adding significant structure on A and D, I don't see how you could tell whether A will ever halt given input D, how you can tell whether A will eventually succeed or continue searching forever? | |
| Jul 5, 2016 at 19:40 | comment | added | Superbest | This problem can be answered in practical terms (as @StephanKolassa did) or in absolute terms (some sort of theorem that shows a given model can learn a problem iff certain conditions are satisfied). Which one do you want? | |
