Supervised Learning – Regression (Marketing Analysis Sales Prediction & Automobiles Price Prediction)

Model Evaluation Metrics (R²-score, MSE, MAE, RMSE)

Learning Outcome

5

Evaluate model performance using the R² score.

4

Convert and interpret MSE using Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE).

3

Explain why Mean Squared Error (MSE) penalizes large outliers.

2

Calculate and interpret Mean Absolute Error (MAE).

1

Define a Residual (error) in predictive modeling.

Lets Recall....

The Reality Check

 

The .predict() function always outputs a number, even if it's a terrible guess.

The Story So Far

 

We've built Simple, Multiple, Polynomial, and Regularized regression models to predict car prices.

Hook/Story/Analogy(Slide 4)

Transition from Analogy to Technical Concept(Slide 5)

The Concept

Average distance between predictions and actual values

The Automobile Interpretation

MAE = 1,200

"On average, our model's price prediction is off by $1,200"

The "Everyday" Metric

Most intuitive error measurement

The Formula

MAE = 1/n Σ |Actual - Predicted|

Metric 1: MAE (Mean Absolute Error)

Core Concepts (.....Slide N-3)

Summary

5

Use  to get a universal "percentage" score of your model's quality.

4

Use RMSE if you want to aggressively penalize massive outliers.

3

Use MAE for a simple average error.

2

Residuals are the gap between reality and our AI's prediction.

1

You cannot improve what you cannot measure.
