colour.utilities.metric_mse

colour.utilities.metric_mse(a, b, axis=None)[source]

Computes the mean squared error (MSE) or mean squared deviation (MSD) between given array_like \(a\) and \(b\) variables.

Parameters

  • a (array_like) – \(a\) variable.

  • b (array_like) – \(b\) variable.

  • axis (None or int or tuple of ints, optional) – Axis or axes along which the means are computed. The default is to compute the mean of the flattened array. If this is a tuple of ints, a mean is performed over multiple axes, instead of a single axis or all the axes as before.

Returns

Mean squared error (MSE).

Return type

float
