negative values for mean squared errors in sae package for R
I have been using "sae" package for R to use small area estimations with spatial fay-herriot models (SFH).
Using different distance matrices I occasionally obtained negative values of Mean Squared Errors (MSE).
The following link may reference a…

Why is MSE loss working better for multi-class classification problem than categorical crossentropy?
I have built a model with multiple heads, some doing regression and some classification. I then sum up all the losses in a weighted manner to backpropagate.
For the classification heads, I use the one-hot encoding approach, and code takes argmax on…

keras mean squared error loss function for 3 dimensional time series output
I would like to verify my loss function because i have read that there are issues with the mse loss function in keras.
Consider a lstm model in keras predicting a 3d time series as multi targets (y1, y2, y3). Suppose the shape of a batch of output…

How to write masked MSE loss in Keras?
I was trying to write masked MSE loss:
def mae_loss_masked(mask):
def loss_fn(y_true, y_pred):
abs_vec = tf.multiply(tf.abs(y_pred-y_true), mask)
loss = tf.reduce_mean(abs_vec)
return loss
return loss_fn
My…

Finding the mean squared error for a linear regression in python (with scikit learn)
I am trying to do a simple linear regression in python with the x-variable being the word
count of a project description and the y-value being the funding speed in days.
I am a bit confused as the root mean square error (RMSE) is 13.77 for the test…

Write a custom MSE loss function in Keras
I'm trying to create an image denoising ConvNet in Keras and I want to create my own loss function. I want it to take a noisy image as an input and to get the noise as an output. This loss function is pretty much like a MSE loss but which will make…

randomForest package in R mse calculation
I feel like I'm missing something very basic here.
I've run a random forest regression:
INTERP.rf<-randomForest(y~.,data=df,importance=T,mtry=3,ntree=300)
and then extracted the predictions for the training…

What is loss in tensorflow evaluate()? is it MAE? MSE? how do I compare the result with other regression?
Previous developer apply neural network and give me result of loss, MSE and MAE.
How do I compare these result with my models (Linear Regression)? I can calculate MSE and MAE, but what is loss?
