All metrics

List of all the metrics and metric presets available in Evidently.

How to use this page
This is a reference page. It shows all the metrics and metric presets available in the library, and their parameters.
You can use the menu on the right to navigate the sections. We organize the metrics by logical groups. Note that these groups do not match the presets with a similar name. For example, there are more Data Quality metrics below than in the DataQualityPreset.
You can use this reference page to discover additional metrics to include in your custom report.
How to read the tables
Name: the name of the metric of a preset.
Description: plain text explanation of the metric, or the contents of the preset. For metrics, we also specify whether the metric applies to the whole dataset or individual columns.
Parameters: description of the required parameters and optional parameters you can pass to the corresponding metric or preset. For metrics, we also specify the default conditions. They apply if you do not pass a custom parameter.
Metric visualizations. Each metric also includes a default render. If you want to see the visualization, navigate to the example notebooks and run the notebook with all metrics or with all metric presets.
We are doing our best to maintain this page up to date. In case of discrepancies, consult the API reference or the current version of the "All metrics" example notebook in the Examples section. If you notice an error, please send us a pull request to update the documentation!
