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 R² 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.

A. MSE
B. R²-score
C. Adjusted Residuals
