I want to know how to interpret the loss functions results in MATLAB?

On other words, for example if I got 0.3247 as a results of kfoldLoss() function, is this mean that it is 32.47% error or it is a 0.3247%, or how correctly can I define/interpret this obtained result?

Thank you very much in advance

    Is it the mean squared error and is likely returned as simply a decimal, so it would be equivalent to 32.47% – Suever Dec 01 '16 at 16:42

    32.47% is correct – Avijit Dasgupta Dec 01 '16 at 17:17
  • I guessed so, but there are results in the help of MATLAB of the kfoldloss() function such as 44.9635 where L = kfoldLoss(cvmodel,'mode','individual'). So, if we supposed that the output of my question will be 32.47%, then, how can we interpret 44.9635? – FatmaZahraaAhmed Dec 01 '16 at 19:59

It means that the mean of the errors across your k folds was 32.47%.
