Mean Squared Error in Numpy?

This isn't part of numpy, but it will work with numpy.ndarray objects. A numpy.matrix can be converted to a numpy.ndarray and a numpy.ndarray can be converted to a numpy.matrix.

from sklearn.metrics import mean_squared_error
mse = mean_squared_error(A, B)

See Scikit Learn mean_squared_error for documentation on how to control axis.

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

Even more numpy

np.square(np.subtract(A, B)).mean()
