Synonym: Root Mean Square Error (RMSE)Root Mean Square Deviation (RMSD)


A square root of Mean Square Error (MSE) between number characterising the model prediction quality ( goodness of fit ) between the datasets of a given variable

Mean Square Error (MSE)


The RMSD is a square root of Mean Square Error (MSE) between the datasets of a given variable 

LaTeX Math Inline
bodyx
 and its estimator 
LaTeX Math Inline
body\hat x
:

The key benefit of using RMSD instead of MSE is that it is expressed in the same units as the base property (

) while MSE is expressed in square units of the base property.


The terms 
RMSE and RMSD are used in mathematics and engineering interchangeably.
