The estimate for the relative error of R_free is 1/sqrt(n), where n is the size of the test set. So if n is 1000, and the R_free is 31%, you would expect its relative error to be 31%/sqrt(1000), which is about 1%. | The estimate for the relative error of R_free is 1/sqrt(n), where n is the size of the test set.
