A nice example of overfitting! However, it is hard to imagine an actual application of the process. If I understand it correctly, the author suggests using a set of micro-models fo…

TL;DR mutations happen. The key paragraph is the following: "We are seeing some mutation coming up in some samples that could possibly evade immune responses," said Shahid Jameel, …
