Models are crucial in advancing our understanding of Earth's physical nature and environmental systems, but their accuracy and reliability depend heavily on data, which are often partitioned without justification. This study highlights the significance of meticulously considering data partitioning in the model development and evaluation process, and its impact on model generalization. Flaws in existing data-splitting approaches are identified, and a forward-looking strategy is proposed to address this issue, leading to improved model generalization capabilities.
Models play a pivotal role in advancing our understanding of Earth's physical nature and environmental systems, aiding in their efficient planning and management. The accuracy and reliability of these models heavily rely on data, which are generally partitioned into subsets for model development and evaluation. Surprisingly, how this partitioning is done is often not justified, even though it determines what model we end up with, how we assess its performance and what decisions we make based on the resulting model outputs. In this study, we shed light on the paramount importance of meticulously considering data partitioning in the model development and evaluation process, and its significant impact on model generalization. We identify flaws in existing data-splitting approaches and propose a forward-looking strategy to effectively confront the elephant in the room, leading to improved model generalization capabilities.
