Question 1.
What is the formula for Mean Squared Error (MSE)?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how we find the average of squared differences.
Question 2.
Why is Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) important?
Show hintHide hint
Consider how real-world applications benefit from understanding errors.
3Question 3.
What does MSE stand for?
- Mean Squared Error
- Mean Standard Error
- Mean Squared Estimate
Show hintHide hint
Think about how errors are handled in the model evaluation.
4Question 4.
Is RMSE always better than MSE?
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider the applications of each metric.
Question 5.
An engineer is comparing two models for predicting auto prices: Model A has an RMSE of $500 and Model B has a MSE of $300,000. Which model should they choose, and why?
Show hintHide hint
Consider the effect of larger discrepancies on average error measurement.
Question 6.
Explain why a model might have a high R² but poor predictive performance in practical applications. Include potential causes.
Show hintHide hint
Think about how adjusting model complexity influences generalization.
