What I want to do is calculate the rmse between value1 and value2 per day. So basically, I want to run the function 31 times (once per day), and the input would be the 24 entries of the day (one every hour) I tried using
rmse(df.groupby([df.index.day]).mean().value1,
df.groupby([df.index.day]).mean().value2)
but it gave me a single value, and what I want is a list with the rmse of each day, such as
daily_rmse = [rmse01_01, rmse01_02, ..., rmse01_31]
use sklearns mean_squared_error
from sklearn.metrics import mean_squared_error
df.groupby(df.date.dt.date).apply(
lambda x: mean_squared_error(x.value1, x.value2) ** .5)
date
