### fiftyone.utils.eval.regression.evaluate_regressions(samples, pred_field, gt_field='ground_truth', eval_key=None, missing=None, method=None, custom_metrics=None, progress=None, \*\*kwargs)

Evaluates the regression predictions in the given collection with
respect to the specified ground truth values.

You can customize the evaluation method by passing additional
parameters for the method’s config class as `kwargs`.

The natively provided `method` values and their associated configs are:

- `"simple"`: [`SimpleEvaluationConfig`](#fiftyone.utils.eval.regression.SimpleEvaluationConfig)

If an `eval_key` is specified, then this method will record some
statistics on each sample:

- When evaluating sample-level fields, an `eval_key` field will be
  populated on each sample recording the error of that sample’s
  prediction.
- When evaluating frame-level fields, an `eval_key` field will be
  populated on each frame recording the error of that frame’s
  prediction. In addition, an `eval_key` field will be populated on
  each sample that records the average error of the frame predictions
  of the sample.

* **Parameters:**
  * **samples** – a [`fiftyone.core.collections.SampleCollection`](fiftyone.core.collections.md#fiftyone.core.collections.SampleCollection)
  * **pred_field** – the name of the field containing the predicted
    [`fiftyone.core.labels.Regression`](fiftyone.core.labels.md#fiftyone.core.labels.Regression) instances
  * **gt_field** ( *"ground_truth"*) – the name of the field containing the
    ground truth [`fiftyone.core.labels.Regression`](fiftyone.core.labels.md#fiftyone.core.labels.Regression) instances
  * **eval_key** (*None*) – a string key to use to refer to this evaluation
  * **missing** (*None*) – a missing value. Any None-valued regressions are
    given this value for results purposes
  * **method** (*None*) – a string specifying the evaluation method to use. The
    supported values are
    `fo.evaluation_config.regression_backends.keys()` and the default
    is `fo.evaluation_config.default_regression_backend`
  * **custom_metrics** (*None*) – an optional list of custom metrics to compute
    or dict mapping metric names to kwargs dicts
  * **progress** (*None*) – whether to render a progress bar (True/False), use the
    default value `fiftyone.config.show_progress_bars` (None), or a
    progress callback function to invoke instead
  * **\*\*kwargs** – optional keyword arguments for the constructor of the
    [`RegressionEvaluationConfig`](#fiftyone.utils.eval.regression.RegressionEvaluationConfig) being used
* **Returns:**
  a [`RegressionResults`](#fiftyone.utils.eval.regression.RegressionResults)

Returns the default config instance.

By default, this method instantiates the class from an empty
dictionary, which will only succeed if all attributes are optional.
Otherwise, subclasses should override this method to provide the
desired default configuration.

Subclasses may override this method, but, by default, this method
simply reads the JSON and calls from_dict(), which subclasses must
implement.

* **Parameters:**
  * **path** – the path to the JSON file on disk
  * **\*args** – optional positional arguments for `self.from_dict()`
  * **\*\*kwargs** – optional keyword arguments for `self.from_dict()`

  * **digits** (*2*) – the number of digits of precision to print

#### plot_results(labels=None, sizes=None, backend='plotly', \*\*kwargs)

Plots the regression results.

You can use the `labels` parameters to define a coloring for the
points, and you can use the `sizes` parameter to scale the sizes of
the points.

You can attach plots generated by this method to an App session via its
[`fiftyone.core.session.Session.plots`](fiftyone.core.session.md#fiftyone.core.session.Session.plots) attribute, which will
automatically sync the session’s view with the currently selected
points in the plot.

* **Parameters:**
  * **labels** (*None*) – 

    data to use to color the points. Can be any of the
    following:
    - the name of a sample field or `embedded.field.name` of
      from which to extract numeric or string values
    - a [`fiftyone.core.expressions.ViewExpression`](fiftyone.core.expressions.md#fiftyone.core.expressions.ViewExpression)
      defining numeric or string values to extract via
      [`fiftyone.core.collections.SampleCollection.values()`](fiftyone.core.collections.md#fiftyone.core.collections.SampleCollection.values)
    - a list or array-like of numeric or string values (or lists
      of lists for frame-level regressions)
  * **sizes** (*None*) – 

    data to use to scale the sizes of the points. Can be
    any of the following:
    - the name of a sample field or `embedded.field.name` from
      which to extract numeric values
    - a [`fiftyone.core.expressions.ViewExpression`](fiftyone.core.expressions.md#fiftyone.core.expressions.ViewExpression)
      defining numeric values to extract via
      [`fiftyone.core.collections.SampleCollection.values()`](fiftyone.core.collections.md#fiftyone.core.collections.SampleCollection.values)
    - a list or array-like of numeric values (or lists of lists
      for frame-level regressions)
  * **backend** ( *"plotly"*) – the plotting backend to use. Supported values
    are `("plotly", "matplotlib")`
  * **\*\*kwargs** – 

    keyword arguments for the backend plotting method:
    - ”plotly” backend: [`fiftyone.core.plots.plotly.plot_regressions()`](fiftyone.core.plots.plotly.md#fiftyone.core.plots.plotly.plot_regressions)
    - ”matplotlib” backend: [`fiftyone.core.plots.matplotlib.plot_regressions()`](fiftyone.core.plots.matplotlib.md#fiftyone.core.plots.matplotlib.plot_regressions)
* **Returns:**
  an [`fiftyone.core.plots.base.InteractivePlot`](fiftyone.core.plots.base.md#fiftyone.core.plots.base.InteractivePlot)

#### add_custom_metrics(custom_metrics, overwrite=True)

Computes the given custom metrics and adds them to these results.

* **Parameters:**
  * **custom_metrics** – a list of custom metrics to compute or a dict
    mapping metric names to kwargs dicts
  * **overwrite** (*True*) – whether to recompute any custom metrics that
    have already been applied

#### attributes()

Returns the list of class attributes that will be serialized by
[`serialize()`](#fiftyone.utils.eval.regression.RegressionResults.serialize).

* **Returns:**
  a list of attributes

#### *property* backend

The `BaseRun` for these results.

#### *static* base_results_cls(type)

Returns the results class for the given run type.

* **Parameters:**
  **type** – a `BaseRunConfig.type`
* **Returns:**
  a `BaseRunResults` subclass

#### *property* cls

The fully-qualified name of this `BaseRunResults` class.

#### *property* config

The `BaseRunConfig` for these results.

#### copy()

Returns a deep copy of the object.

* **Returns:**
  a Serializable instance

#### custom_attributes(dynamic=False, private=False)

Returns a customizable list of class attributes.

By default, all attributes in vars(self) are returned, minus private
attributes (those starting with “_”).

* **Parameters:**
  * **dynamic** – whether to include dynamic properties, e.g., those defined
    by getter/setter methods or the `@property` decorator. By
    default, this is False
  * **private** – whether to include private properties, i.e., those
    starting with “_”. By default, this is False
* **Returns:**
  a list of class attributes

#### *classmethod* from_dict(d, samples, config, key)

Builds a `BaseRunResults` from a JSON dict representation of
it.

* **Parameters:**
  * **d** – a JSON dict
  * **samples** – the [`fiftyone.core.collections.SampleCollection`](fiftyone.core.collections.md#fiftyone.core.collections.SampleCollection)
    for the run
  * **config** – the `BaseRunConfig` for the run
  * **key** – the run key
* **Returns:**
  a `BaseRunResults`

#### *classmethod* from_json(path, \*args, \*\*kwargs)

Constructs a Serializable object from a JSON file.

Subclasses may override this method, but, by default, this method
simply reads the JSON and calls from_dict(), which subclasses must
implement.

* **Parameters:**
  * **path** – the path to the JSON file on disk
  * **\*args** – optional positional arguments for `self.from_dict()`
  * **\*\*kwargs** – optional keyword arguments for `self.from_dict()`
* **Returns:**
  an instance of the Serializable class

#### *classmethod* from_str(s, \*args, \*\*kwargs)

Constructs a Serializable object from a JSON string.

Subclasses may override this method, but, by default, this method
simply parses the string and calls from_dict(), which subclasses must
implement.

* **Parameters:**
  * **s** – a JSON string representation of a Serializable object
  * **\*args** – optional positional arguments for `self.from_dict()`
  * **\*\*kwargs** – optional keyword arguments for `self.from_dict()`
* **Returns:**
  an instance of the Serializable class

#### *classmethod* get_class_name()

Returns the fully-qualified class name string of this object.

#### get_meta()

Small facts that DESCRIBE these results, stored beside the run so
callers can read them without loading the results.

The results themselves are a blob in GridFS whose arrays can run to
hundreds of MB; a count or a path is a few bytes. Anything returned
here is written when the results are saved (see
`BaseRun.save_run_results()`), so no read path has to load — or
write — to answer for it.

* **Returns:**
  a JSON-serializable dict

#### *property* key

The run key for these results.

#### *property* samples

The [`fiftyone.core.collections.SampleCollection`](fiftyone.core.collections.md#fiftyone.core.collections.SampleCollection) associated
with these results.

#### save()

Saves the results to the database.

#### save_config()

Saves these results config to the database.

#### serialize(reflective=False)

Serializes the object into a dictionary.

Serialization is applied recursively to all attributes in the object,
including element-wise serialization of lists and dictionary values.

* **Parameters:**
  **reflective** – whether to include reflective attributes when
  serializing the object. By default, this is False
* **Returns:**
  a JSON dictionary representation of the object

#### to_str(pretty_print=True, \*\*kwargs)

Returns a string representation of this object.

* **Parameters:**
  * **pretty_print** – whether to render the JSON in human readable format
    with newlines and indentations. By default, this is True
  * **\*\*kwargs** – optional keyword arguments for `self.serialize()`
* **Returns:**
  a string representation of the object

#### write_json(path, pretty_print=False, \*\*kwargs)

Serializes the object and writes it to disk.

* **Parameters:**
  * **path** – the output path
  * **pretty_print** – whether to render the JSON in human readable format
    with newlines and indentations. By default, this is False
  * **\*\*kwargs** – optional keyword arguments for `self.serialize()`
