Log Loss Regression Measure

Calculates the cross-entropy, or logarithmic (log), loss.

Details

The Log Loss, in the context of probabilistic predictions, is defined as the negative log probability density function, \(f\), evaluated at the observed value, \(y\), $$L(f, y) = -\log(f(y))$$

Parameters

Id	Type	Default	Range
eps	numeric	1e-15	\([0, 1]\)

Meta Information

• Type: "regr"

• Range: \([0, \infty)\)

• Minimize: TRUE

• Required prediction: distr

Parameter details

• eps (numeric(1))
  Very small number to substitute near-zero values in order to prevent errors in e.g. log(0) and/or division-by-zero calculations. Default value is 1e-15.
