What is RMSE?
RMSE stands for the Root Mean Square Error. It is a measure of accuracy in regression. RMSE allows us to calculate the magnitude of error produced by a regression model.

The way RMSE is calculated is as follows :
 
First, we calculate the errors in the predictions made by the regression model. For this, we calculate the differences between the actual and the predicted values. Then, we square the errors. After this step, we calculate the mean of the squared errors, and finally, we take the square root of the mean of these squared errors. This number is the RMSE, and a model with a lower value of RMSE is considered to produce lower errors, i.e., the model will be more accurate.
