Measure to compare true observed response with predicted response in regression tasks.

Details

The Mean Squared Error is defined as $$ \frac{1}{n} w_i \sum_{i=1}^n \left( t_i - r_i \right)^2. $$

Note

The score function calls mlr3measures::mse() from package mlr3measures.

If the measure is undefined for the input, NaN is returned. This can be customized by setting the field na_value.

Dictionary

This Measure can be instantiated via the dictionary mlr_measures or with the associated sugar function msr():

mlr_measures$get("regr.mse")
msr("regr.mse")
