# sklearn.metrics.r2_score¶

sklearn.metrics.r2_score(y_true, y_pred, sample_weight=None, multioutput='uniform_average')[source]

R^2 (coefficient of determination) regression score function.

Best possible score is 1.0 and it can be negative (because the model can be arbitrarily worse). A constant model that always predicts the expected value of y, disregarding the input features, would get a R^2 score of 0.0.

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,), optional

Sample weights.

multioutputstring in [‘raw_values’, ‘uniform_average’, ‘variance_weighted’] or None or array-like of shape (n_outputs)

Defines aggregating of multiple output scores. Array-like value defines weights used to average scores. Default is “uniform_average”.

‘raw_values’ :

Returns a full set of scores in case of multioutput input.

‘uniform_average’ :

Scores of all outputs are averaged with uniform weight.

‘variance_weighted’ :

Scores of all outputs are averaged, weighted by the variances of each individual output.

Changed in version 0.19: Default value of multioutput is ‘uniform_average’.

Returns
zfloat or ndarray of floats

The R^2 score or ndarray of scores if ‘multioutput’ is ‘raw_values’.

Notes

This is not a symmetric function.

Unlike most other scores, R^2 score may be negative (it need not actually be the square of a quantity R).

This metric is not well-defined for single samples and will return a NaN value if n_samples is less than two.
