How to use

How to use the Regression Metrics Calculator

  1. Enter one actual, predicted pair per line, separated by a comma or space.
  2. Click Compute metrics.
  3. Read the sample count, MAE, MSE, RMSE and R2.
  4. Compare RMSE with MAE to see whether a few large errors dominate.
Worked example

FAQ

Questions about the Regression Metrics Calculator

What is the difference between MAE and RMSE?

MAE averages the absolute errors, so every error counts equally. RMSE squares errors before averaging, so large misses weigh more; RMSE is always at least as large as MAE.

What does a negative R-squared mean?

It means the model predicts worse than simply using the mean of the actual values. An R2 of 1 is a perfect fit and 0 is no better than the mean.

Which regression metric should I report?

Report RMSE or MAE in the units of the target so people can judge the error size, and R2 to show how much variance the model explains.

Is the Regression Metrics Calculator free and private?

Yes. It is free, needs no sign-up and runs entirely in your browser, so what you type is not uploaded. You only sign in if you want to email a result to yourself or save it to your CareerByteCode profile.
