What is a good RMSE value? Simply explained Members Public

Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) is a popular metric to use for regression machine learning models, but what is good value? In this post, I explain what RMSE is, what a good value is, and answer some common questions.

Loss function vs cost function, what’s the difference?

Loss function vs cost function, what’s the difference? Members Public

Loss function and cost function are two terms that are used in similar contexts within machine learning, which can lead to confusion as to what the difference is. In this post I will explain what they are, their similarities, and their differences.

Micro vs Macro F1 score, what’s the difference?

Micro vs Macro F1 score, what’s the difference? Members Public

Micro average and macro average are aggregation methods for F1 score, a metric which is used to measure the performance of classification machine learning models. They are often shown together, which can make it confusing to know what the difference is.
