Coefficient of Determination Introduction The Coefficient of Determination is a metric for evaluating the goodness of fit for a linear regression model. This quantity is often defined as: (1) where is the sum of squared errors, and is the sum of squared total variance. Let’s define these, along with the sum of squared regression …
Build a Bagging Classifier in Python from Scratch Motivation to Build a Bagging Classifier In this article, we will build a bagging classifier in Python from the ground-up. Through this exercise it is hoped that you will gain a deep intuition for how bagging works. We saw in a previous post that the bootstrap method was …

Mean Squared Error Introduction In this post we’ll cover the Mean Squared Error (MSE), arguably one of the most popular error metrics for regression analysis. The MSE is expressed as: (1) where are the model output and are the true values. The summation is performed over individual data points available in our sample. The advantage …
