Hello everyone,

I was thinking to add the concordance correlation coefficient as a metric
for regression models and I wanted to ask first whether you think this is a
good idea.

The concordance correlation coefficient is a measure of inter-rater
agreement. I stumbled upon it about a year ago, and I realized it is a
really useful for evaluating regression models.

In short, the RMSE gets too affected by outliers. The correlation can be a
good alternative in this case. However, the correlation ignores systematic
bias in the predictions. So, it can still be misleading in some cases. The
concordance correlation coefficient measures how closely the predicted and
the true values fall on the 45 degree line through the origin.
