Characteristics of Regression Evaluation Metrics

Typically, the R2R^2 score is sufficient for evaluating a regression model. Alternative evaluation metrics include:

  • Mean Absolute Error (MAE): The absolute difference between target and predicted values, representing the expected value of L1L_1 norm loss.
  • Mean Squared Error (MSE): The squared difference between target and predicted values, representing the expected value of L2L_2 norm loss.
  • Median Absolute Error: Uses the median of the error distribution rather than the mean, making it more robust to outliers.
