sklearn.metrics.mean_squared_log_error

sklearn.metrics.mean_squared_log_error(y_true, y_pred, sample_weight=None, multioutput=’uniform_average’)

Mean squared logarithmic error regression loss

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters:

y_true : array-like of shape = (n_samples) or (n_samples, n_outputs)

Ground truth (correct) target values.

y_pred : array-like of shape = (n_samples) or (n_samples, n_outputs)

Estimated target values.

sample_weight : array-like of shape = (n_samples), optional

Sample weights.

multioutput : string in [‘raw_values’, ‘uniform_average’] or array-like of shape = (n_outputs)

Defines aggregating of multiple output values. Array-like value defines weights used to average errors.

‘raw_values’ :

Returns a full set of errors when the input is of multioutput format.

‘uniform_average’ :

Errors of all outputs are averaged with uniform weight.

Returns:

loss : float or ndarray of floats

A non-negative floating point value (the best value is 0.0), or an array of floating point values, one for each individual target.
