Abstract

Double Descent is the phenomenon that the test error in a learning system displays non-monotonic behaviour as the number of train datapoints increases. Double Descent was well known in the 1990s and this brief note adds some references and details around how to calculate the test error and suggests an explanation for the phenomenon.
