The MSE either assesses the quality of a predictor (i.e., a function mapping arbitrary inputs to a sample of values of some random variable), or of an estimator (i.e., a mathematical function mapping a sample of data to an estimate of a parameter of the population from which the data is sampled).
For random vectors, since the MSE for estimation of a random vector is the sum of the MSEs of the coordinates, finding the MMSE estimator of a random vector decomposes into finding the MMSE estimators of the coordinates of X separately: {(()) ()} =, for all i and j
Asymptotic normality of the MASE: The Diebold-Mariano test for one-step forecasts is used to test the statistical significance of the difference between two sets of forecasts. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] [ 7 ] To perform hypothesis testing with the Diebold-Mariano test statistic, it is desirable for D M ∼ N ( 0 , 1 ) {\displaystyle DM\sim N(0,1)} , where D M ...
In some disciplines, the RMSD is used to compare differences between two things that may vary, neither of which is accepted as the "standard". For example, when measuring the average difference between two time series x 1 , t {\displaystyle x_{1,t}} and x 2 , t {\displaystyle x_{2,t}} , the formula becomes
Two very commonly used loss functions are the squared loss, () =, and the absolute loss, () = | |.The squared loss function results in an arithmetic mean-unbiased estimator, and the absolute-value loss function results in a median-unbiased estimator (in the one-dimensional case, and a geometric median-unbiased estimator for the multi-dimensional case).
The absolute difference between A t and F t is divided by half the sum of absolute values of the actual value A t and the forecast value F t. The value of this calculation is summed for every fitted point t and divided again by the number of fitted points n .
A consequence of the above discussion is the following counterintuitive result: When three or more unrelated parameters are measured, their total MSE can be reduced by using a combined estimator such as the James–Stein estimator; whereas when each parameter is estimated separately, the least squares (LS) estimator is admissible. A quirky ...
