Definitions:

Standard Error

The standard deviation of the sampling distribution of a statistic, typically the mean, indicating the variability of sampling estimates.

SSE

Sum of Squared Errors; a measure used in statistics to describe the total deviation of data points from a fitted value, reflecting the discrepancy between observed and predicted values.

Standard Error

A measure of the accuracy of predictions made with a statistical model, specifically it quantifies the variability of the sampling distribution of a statistic.

Square Root

A mathematical function that provides the original value when it is multiplied by itself.
