The Mean Squared Error (MSE) is a measure of how close a fitted line is to data points. For every data point, you take the distance vertically from the point to the corresponding y value on the curve fit, this is known as the error, and square the value. Next you add up all those values for all data points, and divide by the number of points. The reason for squaring is so negative values do not cancel positive values. The smaller the Mean Squared Error, the closer the fit is to the data. The MSE has the units squared of whatever is plotted on the vertical axis.

Is a higher or lower root mean squared error better?
A lower.
How do you calculate the absolute probable error of the mean?
(0.6745 * Standard deviation)/ (n^1/2) :)
How does one calculate the standard error of the sample mean?
Standard error of the sample mean is calculated dividing the the sample estimate of population standard deviation ("sample standard deviation") by the square root of sample size.
What does a high standard error mean?
It means theres a high amount of variation between the results used to calculate the mean value for a particular sample or experiment
How do you calculate error in span percentage?
The span error is calculated by taking the span error and dividing it by the original measurement then multiplying by 100. The value gives us the span error as a percentage.
