Root Mean Lack of Precision (RMLP)

Source: R/reg_RMLP.R
RMLP.Rd

It estimates the RMLP, the square root of the unsystematic error component to the Mean Squared Error (MSE), for a continuous predicted-observed dataset following Correndo et al. (2021).

Usage

RMLP(data = NULL, obs, pred, tidy = FALSE, na.rm = TRUE)

Arguments

data

(Optional) argument to call an existing data frame containing the data.

obs

Vector with observed values (numeric).

pred

Vector with predicted values (numeric).

tidy

Logical operator (TRUE/FALSE) to decide the type of return. TRUE returns a data.frame, FALSE returns a list; Default : FALSE.

na.rm

Logic argument to remove rows with missing values (NA). Default is na.rm = TRUE.

Value

an object of class numeric within a list (if tidy = FALSE) or within a data frame (if tidy = TRUE).

Details

The RMLP represents the unsystematic (random) component of the MSE expressed on the original variables units \( \sqrt{MLP} \). It is obtained via a symmetric decomposition of the MSE (invariant to predicted-observed orientation) using a symmetric regression line (SMA). The RMLP is equal to the square-root of the sum of unsystematic differences divided by the sample size (n). The greater the value the greater the random noise of the predictions. For the formula and more details, see online-documentation
