model diagnostics
What it is not
not automatic ML

What is a unit of analysis
what, who, where, when
how to determine unit of analysis
Chapter 6: Define Prediction Target
What is a prediction target?
How is it important
without a target there is no way for humans or machines to learn what associations drive an outcome
