Mean squared error of calibration

  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-007079",
  "term": "Mean squared error of calibration",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A statistical measure of the average squared difference between the predicted values from a calibration model and the actual reference values used to build the model. It quantifies the overall accuracy of the calibration curve. A lower mean squared error indicates a more precise calibration.",
  "synonyms": [
    "mean residual sum of squares"
