Mean Squared Error in Numpy?

Question

Is there a method in numpy for calculating the Mean Squared Error between two matrices?

I\'ve tried searching but found none. Is it under a different name?

Answer 1

You can use:

mse = ((A - B)**2).mean(axis=ax)

Or

mse = (np.square(A - B)).mean(axis=ax)

• with ax=0 the average is performed along the row, for each column, returning an array
• with ax=1 the average is performed along the column, for each row, returning an array
• with ax=None the average is performed element-wise along the array, returning a scalar value
