Compare the three approaches to classification covered in decision theory: (1) discriminant function, (2) probabilistic discriminative model, and (3) probabilistic generative model. For each, state what it models and give one advantage or limitation.

The variance of a machine learning model measures how much the model’s prediction would fluctuate across different random datasets drawn from the same distribution.

A model in the underfitting zone is typically characterized by:
