Cross-Validation

SpikeSEG includes a k-fold cross-validation script for robust performance estimation.

Quick Start

python scripts/train_cv.py \
  --config configs/config.yaml \
  --data-root /path/to/EBSSA \
  --n-folds 10 \
  --output-dir runs/cv

How It Works

1. Hold out 10% of recordings as a test set (never touched during training).
2. Split the remaining 90% into $k$ folds.
3. For each fold: train on $k - 1$ folds, validate on the held-out fold.
4. After all folds: evaluate each fold's model on the test set.
5. Report mean $\pm$ std for validation and test metrics.
