When I say "model" here I'm referring to any statistical model (in this example, probably linear regression). Not specifically large language models / neural networks.

Gotcha, I don't think I know enough about it. What constitutes training data for a for a (non neural network) statistical model? Is this something I could play around with myself with pen and paper?

Just the raw numbers? You list the y's and the x's and the model is approximating y=f(x) from the above example. You can totally do it with pen and paper. This is what it'd look like (for linear regression): https://observablehq.com/@yizhe-ang/interactive-visualizatio...

You can write an f(x) and record the input and output and that can be your training data. Or just download some time-series data or something.
