The Jackknife is a resampling technique used to estimate the bias and variance of a statistic. To perform it: For a dataset of n samples, create n subsets, each omitting one different sample. Train and evaluate your model on each subset. The Jackknife estimate of the statistic (e.g., accuracy) is the average of these n results, and its variance provides an error estimate.
