I read an interesting post from Maxwell Tabarrok about overfitting in academia. Much of what he discusses in that post is also relevant to corporate recruiting. First, let's define the term: Overfitting is a term used in statistics that refers to a modeling error that occurs when a function corresponds too closely to a particular set of data. As a result, overfitting may fail to fit additional data, and this may affect the accuracy of predicting future observations.
