A Deeper look at Mean Squared Error

Read Original

This article provides an in-depth mathematical analysis of the Mean Squared Error (MSE) metric. It explains how MSE decomposes into bias and variance components, offering insight into model behavior, failure modes, and the concept of irreducible uncertainty. The post uses concepts like expectation and estimators, framing modeling as the attempt to understand an underlying function f that describes real-world processes.
