 I am currently engaged in a particular task that is related to analyzing the performance of a machine-learning model. In this particular task, I want to visualize the distribution of prediction errors. How can I use Matplotlib to plot a histogram of the error values?

 In the context of data science, you can plot a histogram of prediction errors by using Matplotlib. You can start by first calculating the errors from your model’s prediction and the ground truth values. Then you can use Matplotlib to create the histogram. Here is how you can do it in Python:-


Import numpy as np
Import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
# Assuming ‘predictions’ and ‘ground_truth’ are arrays containing prediction and ground truth values
Errors = predictions – ground_truth
# Plotting histogram
Plt.hist(errors, bins=20, edgecolor=’black’) # Adjust the number of bins as needed
Plt.xlabel(‘Error’)
Plt.ylabel(‘Frequency’)
Plt.title(‘Distribution of Prediction Errors’)
Plt.grid(True)
Plt.show()

Matplotlib allows you to plot a histogram of prediction mistakes, which gives you the ability to do so within the framework of data science. Calculating the errors that result from the difference between the values predicted by your model and the actual values can be a good place to begin. Following that, you can generate the histogram by utilizing Matplotlib.
