Use MSE if outliers are important.​
USE MAE if outliers are not important (most cases).​
Use Huber to get a balance between giving outliers some weight but not a lot (like in MSE). ​

Leaving a comment to say that you have helped me greatly improve my research.

Excellent, Everything is cleared. Thank you so much.

[@DigitalSreeni]

You are most welcome

[@surflaweb]

Thanks dr. Great explanation.

At what level is MAE and MSE is accepted to be good or bad

[@ssyedyaseens]

I am very new here. Why is mae an array during code demo? Isnt it supposed to be just one value? If x is data points, and y is some predicted value, y_delta could be an array, how can y_mae be an array? Appreciate any help. Thanks

I'm in a graduate level statistical inference course. I only had probability in undergrad with no statistics. This was such as nice and fast explanation to give motivation to why I'm learning this. Rigor has it's place, but I needed this

Thank you professor, i have a question, given a confusion matrix result of my prediction as such : 1st line [3 0 0] 2nd [0 3 0] 3rd [1 0 2] , how to trace my way back to the image that generates de "1" in the third line ? So i can see if there's something particular with this image ? have a good day

thank you

Thank you very much for your outstanding tutorials. My question is why does an outlier remain important? before we train our mdoel, we have to clean outliers and interpolate missing values. Could you please explain this please? Thank you.

[@Mojtaba-Sirati-Amsheh]

please, make a video about GRAD_CAM for image regression tasks

Professor, please consider my resume for research with you...

[@tabbypp]

Amazing example, thank you!

[@minhajulhoque2113]

Really enjoy your videos. Very clear and concise. Thank you!

Sir, we now often see in some analysis people showing MAE as 0.20 ± 0.011 as well as R2 as 0.45 ± 0.028, can you kindly explain how these ± values are obtained for MAE and R2 for any analysis can any of the python packages can derive these values. Thank you

[@DigitalSreeni]

One way to obtain +/- for MAE is when you average MAE values from multiple experiments and reporting the standard deviation.

[@divyaanshsingh5308]

Quick question: COntradiction to your summary - If outliers are important shouldnt we use MAE instead of MSE since MSE is highly influenced by outliers?

[@MuhammadAteebTaseer]

idk hat you are trying to ask, but fundamentally, if we want our model to learn outlier affect in learning, we will use MSE since MSE penalizes the outlier by square factor and MAE does'nt as it will average out the big error(Outlier) so of no use for Tracking Outlier.

Love all your tutorials .....keep going

Such a gem on this topic.
