XGBoost giving R2 negative infinity

[Subha_D]

Hello there,

I was running a couple of XGBoost regression models and used the numeric scorer node to assess R2. and I got an R2 value of negative infinity. Does anyone know what this means or how it can be interpreted? or is it because my model is horrible?

Thank you,
Subha

Hello @Subha_D ,
I think the R-squared value of negative infinity is generally a poorly fitted model. However, if you could describe your task/data/features, and the steps your performed or share the workflow with us that would help us better understand the problem.

Thanks,
