Why RMSE obtained by fitlm in matlab does not match with RMSE calculated in EXCEL ؟

23 次查看(过去 30 天)
Hi every one . I've used the mdl = fitlm(x,y) function to fit a linear regression model to my Dataset. I also calculate the RMSE in Excel by Known Formula . the fitlm function in matlab return the exact value of R-squared calculated in excel and the exact Coefficients of Trendline. but the Value of RMSE in matlab and excel does not match. i was made a wide search but I'm still in trouble with that . any idea ? thanks for help . with best regards .

I would specifically suggest posting both a *.m file and a *.xls file that replicate the simplest example you can provide that exhibits the problem.

Hi
Thanks for help
this is the RMSE code i was written in matlab
and i calculate the RMSE value in Excel in the same way of this code shown below
function R = RMSE (data , estimate)
R = sqrt(sum((data(:) - estimate (:)).^2) / numel(data));
end
and this is the fitlm code
for kk=1:size(x,2)
lm=fitlm(x,y,'linear');
Rsq_TR=lm.Rsquared.Ordinary;
RMSE_TR=lm.RMSE;
end
and this is some of my sample data set

the left column is the data values(x) and the right column is the estimate (y) values

Your known formula is not always the formula that one might use. In fact, there is a subtly different alternative.
You divided by the number of data points there. In fact, a rational formula for RMSE has one divide by the number of data, less the number of parameters estimated. So by the number of degrees of freedom. A simple test of this fact is often the easiest thing to do, then one can verify my thesis.
x = randn(100,1);
y = randn(100,1);
lm = fitlm(x,y,'linear')
lm =
Linear regression model:
y ~ 1 + x1
Estimated Coefficients:
Estimate SE tStat pValue

As you can see, dividing by the degrees of freedom is what fitlm must be doing.

Hello again
Thank you for your helps.
I must say this before but I thought that it is not important.
This Data set shown below is My Data set for function approximation with Neural Network in MATLAB. The left column is the Target vector and the right column is the model output vector.

and I want to show the capability of my model by calculating the RMSE value between the Target & Output vectors in MATLAB .
my question is that what kind of RMSE should I use ?
The RMSE obtained by fitlm function or RMSE obtained by the formula shown below?
function R = RMSE (data , estimate)
R = sqrt(sum((data(:) - estimate (:)).^2) / numel(data));
end
and if I use the RMSE obtained by fitlm function, Is the RMSE value true ??
because the vector created by
lm.predict(x)
and my Output vector are different.
with best regards

You are asking which one is correct.
Well, they all are correct. They are just different measures of the same model. You are free to choose any one you want. HOWEVER, if the differences are significant then you should be able to explain why.
Since I are un injuneer and not a statistician, I will refer you to Google and Wikipedia re the search words
tutorial degrees-of-freedom
Hope this helps.
