How do you derive mean square error?

To find the MSE, take the observed value, subtract the predicted value, and square that difference. Repeat that for all observations. Then, sum all of those squared values and divide by the number of observations.

What is mean square error in econometrics?

The Mean Squared Error measures how close a regression line is to a set of data points. It is a risk function corresponding to the expected value of the squared error loss. Mean square error is calculated by taking the average, specifically the mean, of errors squared from data as it relates to a function.

Is mean squared error the same as variance?

Thus, the mean squared error of an unbiased estimator (an estimator that has zero bias) is equal to the variance of the estimator itself.

Why is the mean sum square of error method of forecasting error?

It is used to determine the accuracy of the forecasting model when the data points are similar in magnitude. The lower the SSE the more accurate the forecast. Understanding this accuracy statistic will help you choose which forecasting model best fits your data.
