using System; namespace QuanTAlib; /// /// Huber Loss: A robust error metric that combines squared error for small deviations /// and absolute error for large deviations. This provides a balance between the high /// sensitivity of MSE to outliers and the constant gradient of MAE. /// /// /// The Huber Loss calculation process: /// 1. For each point, calculates error between actual and predicted values /// 2. If absolute error ≤ delta: uses squared error (like MSE) /// 3. If absolute error > delta: uses linear error (like MAE) /// 4. Averages the losses over the period /// /// Key characteristics: /// - Combines benefits of MSE and MAE /// - Less sensitive to outliers than MSE /// - More sensitive to small errors than MAE /// - Differentiable at all points /// - Adjustable via delta parameter /// /// Formula: /// For error e = actual - predicted: /// L(e) = 0.5 * e² if |e| ≤ δ /// L(e) = δ * (|e| - 0.5δ) if |e| > δ /// /// Sources: /// Peter J.
