# validationData

Validation data represented as a MLDataTable.

## Declaration

```swift
var validationData: MLDataTable? { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion note: Setting this to nil means that the training data will be automatically split for validation. Setting it to an empty table means to not use a validation set.
