| In[1]:= | X |
| Out[1]= |
Get data on the performance of the predictor on a test set.
| In[2]:= | X |
| Out[2]= |
Compare the predicted values with the actual values.
| In[3]:= | X |
| Out[3]= | ![]() |
Plot the residuals.
| In[4]:= | X |
| Out[4]= | ![]() |
Compute the standard deviation of the predicted values from the actual values (root mean square of the residuals).
| In[5]:= | X |
| Out[5]= |
Plot a histogram of the residuals.
| In[6]:= | X |
| Out[6]= | ![]() |
