Statistical classification is the problem of identifying the sub-population to which new observations belong, where the identity of the sub-population is unknown, on the basis of a training set of data containing observations whose sub-population is known. Therefore these classifications will show a variable behavior which can be studied by statistics.

How to classify or model this problem?

Yes you can define your problem as an optimization in which you maximise (or minimise) a cost function. You could define your cost function simply as $$\sum_{i} (valid_{i} == True) * PS_{i} - (valid_ …

Learning curves - Why does the training accuracy start so high, then suddenly drop?

It is normal that your training accuracy goes down when the dataset size grows. Think of it this way: when you have fewer samples (imagine that you have just one, at the extreme) it is easy to fit a m …
