`sklearn.metrics`.mean_squared_error¶

sklearn.metrics.mean_squared_error(y_true, y_pred, *, sample_weight=None, multioutput='uniform_average', squared=True)[source]¶

Mean squared error regression loss.

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters:

y_truearray-like of shape (n_samples,) or (n_samples, n_outputs)

Ground truth (correct) target values.

y_predarray-like of shape (n_samples,) or (n_samples, n_outputs)

Estimated target values.

sample_weightarray-like of shape (n_samples,), default=None

Sample weights.

multioutput{‘raw_values’, ‘uniform_average’} or array-like of shape (n_outputs,), default=’uniform_average’

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

‘raw_values’ :: Returns a full set of errors in case of multioutput input.
‘uniform_average’ :: Errors of all outputs are averaged with uniform weight.

squaredbool, default=True

If True returns MSE value, if False returns RMSE value.

Returns:

lossfloat 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.
