keskineliövirheiden
Keskineliövirheiden, also known as mean squared errors (MSE), are a fundamental concept in statistics and machine learning used to quantify the average squared difference between predicted values and actual values. It is a common metric for evaluating the performance of regression models. The calculation involves summing the squares of the residuals (the differences between observed and predicted values) and then dividing by the number of data points. A lower mean squared error indicates a better fit of the model to the data, suggesting that the model's predictions are closer to the actual outcomes. Conversely, a higher MSE implies a poorer model fit and greater variability between predictions and reality. Keskineliövirheiden are sensitive to outliers, as squaring the differences magnifies the impact of large errors. This sensitivity can be both a strength, highlighting significant deviations, and a weakness, potentially skewing the overall error measure. Despite its sensitivity, MSE is widely used due to its mathematical properties, including its differentiability, which is crucial for optimization algorithms like gradient descent.
