“MLshorts” 51: RMSE Isn’t the Only Metric in Regression

1. 1Evaluate your regression model using Mean Absolute Error (MAE) to assess average prediction errors
2. 2Compare RMSE and MAE to understand the impact of outliers on your model's performance
3. 3Apply Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) to measure relative prediction errors and identify potential issues
4. 4Test your model with R-squared to evaluate its goodness of fit and explanatory power
5. 5Use coefficient of variation to assess the model's ability to generalize across different datasets

Data scientists and machine learning engineers can benefit from this article to improve their model evaluation skills and communicate results more effectively to stakeholders

💡 RMSE is not the only metric to evaluate regression models, and using alternative metrics can provide a more complete understanding of model performance
