/// <summary>
/// RSE: Relative Squared Error
/// A normalized error metric that compares the squared error of predictions to
/// the variance of actual values. RSE provides a scale-independent measure of
/// prediction accuracy relative to the inherent variability in the data.
/// </summary>
/// <remarks>
/// The RSE calculation process:
/// 1. Calculates sum of squared prediction errors
/// 2. Calculates sum of squared deviations from mean (variance)
/// 3. Divides squared error by variance and takes square root
///
/// Key characteristics:
/// - Scale-independent (normalized by data variance)
/// - Range typically between 0 and 1
/// - Easy interpretation relative to data variance
/// - Penalizes large errors more than small ones
/// - Accounts for data variability
///
/// Formula:
/// RSE = √(Σ(actual - predicted)² / Σ(actual - mean(actual))²)
///
/// Sources:
///     https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_squared_error
///     https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/engineering/relative-squared-error
///
/// Note: Values less than 1 indicate predictions better than using mean
/// </remarks>
