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

Details

R Squared is defined as $$ 1 - \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n w_i \left( t_i - r_i \right)^2}{\sum_{i=1}^n w_i \left( t_i - \bar{t} \right)^2}, $$ where \(\bar{t} = \frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^n t_i\) and \(w_i\) are weights.

Also known as coefficient of determination or explained variation. It compares the squared error of the predictions relative to a naive model predicting the mean.

Note that weights are used to scale the squared error of individual predictions (both in the numerator and in the denominator), but the "plug in" value \(\bar{t}\) is computed without weights.

This measure is undefined for constant \(t\).

Dictionary

Method new()

Creates a new instance of this R6 class.

Usage

MeasureRegrRSQ$new(pred_set_mean = TRUE)

Arguments

pred_set_mean

logical(1)
If TRUE, the mean of the true values is calculated on the prediction set. If FALSE, the mean of the true values is calculated on the training set.


Method clone()

The objects of this class are cloneable with this method.

Usage

MeasureRegrRSQ$clone(deep = FALSE)

Arguments

deep

Whether to make a deep clone.
