Functions

eval_metrics(x, y[, round, all_regress])

Calculate a set of common statistical metrics based on two input actual and predicted vectors.
dea_tools.validation.eval_metrics(x, y, round=3, all_regress=False)[source]

Calculate a set of common statistical metrics based on two input actual and predicted vectors.

These include:

  • Pearson correlation

  • Root Mean Squared Error

  • Mean Absolute Error

  • R-squared

  • Bias

  • Linear regression parameters (slope, p-value, intercept, standard error)

Parameters:

  • x (numpy.array) – An array providing “actual” variable values

  • y (numpy.array) – An array providing “predicted” variable values

  • round (int) – Number of decimal places to round each metric to. Defaults to 3

  • all_regress (bool) – Whether to return linear regression p-value, intercept and standard error (in addition to only regression slope). Defaults to False

Return type:

A pandas.Series containing calculated metrics
