What is the name of the vertical distance that represents the difference between the observed cost and the predicted cost for each data point?

Multiple choice question for Cost Function and Behavior. Select an option, then review the explanation below.

Explanation

The vertical distance between the actual and predicted cost values for each observation is called the residual term. It quantifies the error in the prediction for that specific data point.
