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), optional

Sample weights.

multioutputstring in [‘raw_values’, ‘uniform_average’]

or array-like of shape (n_outputs) 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.

squaredboolean value, optional (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.
