Detailed Description

Huber-loss for for robust regression.

The Huber loss is a function that is quadratic if \( ||f(x)-y||_2 \leq \delta \). Outside this region, whn the error is larger, it is defined as a linear continuation. The function is once but not twice differentiable. This loss is important for regression as it weights outliers lower than ordinary least squares regression while still preserving a convex shape of the loss function.

Please not that, due to its nature, the error function is not scale invariant. thus rescaling the dataset changes the behaviour. This function has the hyper parameter delta which marks thee region where the function changes from quadratic to linear.
