What does a negative coefficient of determination mean for evaluating ridge regression?
$begingroup$
Judging by the negative result being displayed from my ridge.score() I am guessing that I am doing something wrong. Maybe someone could point me in the right direction?
# Create a practice data set for exploring Ridge Regression
data_2 = np.array([[1, 2, 0], [3, 4, 1], [5, 6, 0], [1, 3, 1],
[3, 5, 1], [1, 7, 0], [1, 8, 1]], dtype=np.float64)
# Separate X and Y
x_2 = data_2[:, [0, 1]]
y_2 = data_2[:, 2]
# Train Test Split
x_2_train, x_2_test, y_2_train, y_2_test = train_test_split(x_2, y_2, random_state=0)
# Scale the training data
scaler_2 = StandardScaler()
scaler_2.fit(x_2_train)
x_2_transformed = scaler_2.transform(x_2_train)
# Ridge Regression
ridge_2 = Ridge().fit(x_2_transformed, y_2_train)
x_2_test_scaled = scaler_2.transform(x_2_test)
ridge_2.score(x_2_test_scaled, y_2_test)
Output is: -4.47
EDIT: From reading the scikit learn docs this value is the R^2 value. I guess the question is though, how do we interpret this?

That's a very small data set. How many points are in your test set? Also, how did you generate those points? There are some good facilities with sklearn to generate synthetic data sets that might make more sense.

A negative value means you're getting a terrible fit - which makes sense if you create a test set that doesn't have the same distribution as the training set.
From the sklearn documentation:
The coefficient $R^2$ is defined as (1 - u/v), where u is the residual sum of squares ((y_true - y_pred) ** 2).sum() and v is the total sum of squares ((y_true - y_true.mean()) ** 2).sum(). The best possible score is 1.0 and it can be negative (because the model can be arbitrarily worse). A constant model that always predicts the expected value of y, disregarding the input features, would get a $R^2$ score of 0.0.
