Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately :)) no, maximizing variance reduction &
minimizing MSE are just special cases :)

Does this generalize to any loss function? For example I also want to
implement Kendall's tau correlation coefficient and a combination of R, tau
and RMSE. :)

Hi, Thomas,
as far as I know, it's all the same and doesn't matter, and you would get the
same splits, since R^2 is just a rescaled MSE.

Hi Sebastian,
Going back to Pearson's R loss function, does this imply that I must add an
abstract "init2" method to RegressionCriterion (that's where MSE class
inherits from) where I will add the target values X as extra argument? And
then the node impurity will be 1-R (the lowest the best)? What
Hi, Thomas,
in regression trees, minimizing the variance among the target values is
equivalent to minimizing the MSE between targets and predicted values. This is
also called variance reduction:

Hi again,
I am currently revisiting this problem after familiarizing myself with
Cython and Scikit-Learn's code and I have a very important query:
Looking at the class MSE(RegressionCriterion), the node impurity is defined
as the variance of the target values Y on that node. The predictions X are

class Criterion is an Interface, doesn't have function definitions. By
"writing your own criterion with a given loss"
I wonder whether this (together with the caveat about it being slow if
doing python) should go into the FAQ.

The ClassificationCriterion and RegressionCriterion are now exposed in the

So you can write your own Criterion with a given loss by implementing the
methods which are required in the trees.
Then you can pass an instance of this criteri
Yes, but if you write it in Python, not Cython, it will be unbearably slow.

My bad, I looked at your question in the context of your 2nd e-mail in this

I said that I want to make a Support Vector Regressor using the rbf kernel
to minimize my own loss function. Never mentioned about classification and
hinge loss.

You are confusing the kernel with the loss function. SVM minimize a well
defined hinge loss on a space that's implicitly defined by a kernel mapping
(or, in feature space if you use a linear kernel).

Here you would have the same problem; SVR is a constrained optimization problem
and you would have to change the calculation of the loss gradient then. Since

I know this is a recurrent question, but I would like to use my own loss
