""" Here I implemented the scoring functions.
    MAE, MSE, RMSE, RMSLE are included.

    Those are used for calculating differences between
    predicted values and actual values.

    Metrics are slightly differentiated. Sometimes squared, rooted,
    even log is used.

    Using log and roots can be perceived as tools for penalizing big
    erors. However, using appropriate metrics depends on the situations,
    and types of data
