`sklearn.metrics`.mean_squared_error¶

sklearn.metrics.mean_squared_error(y_true, y_pred, *, sample_weight=None, multioutput='uniform_average', squared='deprecated')[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.

Deprecated since version 1.4: squared is deprecated in 1.4 and will be removed in 1.6. Use root_mean_squared_error instead to calculate the root mean squared error.

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.

Examples

>>> from sklearn.metrics import mean_squared_error
>>> y_true = [3, -0.5, 2, 7]
>>> y_pred = [2.5, 0.0, 2, 8]
>>> mean_squared_error(y_true, y_pred)
0.375
>>> y_true = [[0.5, 1],[-1, 1],[7, -6]]
>>> y_pred = [[0, 2],[-1, 2],[8, -5]]
>>> mean_squared_error(y_true, y_pred)
0.708...
>>> mean_squared_error(y_true, y_pred, multioutput='raw_values')
array([0.41666667, 1.        ])
>>> mean_squared_error(y_true, y_pred, multioutput=[0.3, 0.7])
