There are a few best practices to avoid overfitting of your regression models. One of these best practices is splitting your data into training and test sets. Another alternative is to use cross validation. And a third alternative is to introduce polynomial features. This module walks you through the theoretical framework and a few hands-on examples of these best practices.

There is a trade-off between the size of your training set and your testing set. If you use most of your data for training, you will have fewer samples to validate your model. Conversely, if you use more samples for testing, you will have fewer samples to train your model. Cross Validation will allow you to reuse your data to use more samples for training and testing.
