Root mean square error (RMSE) or mean absolute error (MAE)? – Arguments against avoiding RMSE in the literature
Both the root mean square error (RMSE) and the mean absolute error (MAE) are regularly employed in model evaluation studies. Willmott and Matsuura (2005) have suggested that the RMSE is not a good indicator of average model performance and might be a misleading indicator of average error, and thus the MAE would be a better metric for that purpose. While some concerns over using RMSE raised by W...
متن کاملRoot Mean Squared Error
• Predictive Accuracy Measures. These measures evaluate how close the recommender system came to predicting actual rating/utility values. • Classification Accuracy Measures. These measures evaluate the frequency with which a recommender system makes correct/incorrect decisions regarding items. • Rank Accuracy Measures. These measures evaluate the correctness of the ordering of items performed b...
متن کاملColloquium: Quantum root-mean-square error and measurement uncertainty relations
Recent years have witnessed a controversy over Heisenberg’s famous error-disturbance relation. Here we resolve the conflict by way of an analysis of the possible conceptualizations of measurement error and disturbance in quantum mechanics. We discuss two approaches to adapting the classic notion of root-mean-square error to quantum measurements. One is based on the concept of noise operator; it...
متن کاملMoments and root-mean-square error of the Bayesian MMSE estimator of classification error in the Gaussian model
The most important aspect of any classifier is its error rate, because this quantifies its predictive capacity. Thus, the accuracy of error estimation is critical. Error estimation is problematic in small-sample classifier design because the error must be estimated using the same data from which the classifier has been designed. Use of prior knowledge, in the form of a prior distribution on an ...
