There is no correct value for MSE. Simply put, the lower the value the better, and 0 means the model is perfect. Since there is no correct answer, the MSE’s basic value is in selecting one prediction model over another.
Adjusted R2 is a better option instead
Mean square error very much sensitive to outlier if there are any outliers in the error MSE can’t handle those things so we prefer Median absolute deviation(MAD)
