Evaluate the optimal forest

In this last exercise of the course, you'll evaluate the test set RMSE of grid_rf's optimal model.

The dataset is already loaded and processed for you and is split into 80% train and 20% test. In your environment are available X_test, y_test and the function mean_squared_error from sklearn.metrics under the alias MSE. In addition, we have also loaded the trained GridSearchCV object grid_rf that you instantiated in the previous exercise. Note that grid_rf was trained as follows:

grid_rf.fit(X_train, y_train)

Import mean_squared_error as MSE from sklearn.metrics.
Extract the best estimator from grid_rf and assign it to best_model.
Predict best_model's test set labels and assign the result to y_pred.
Compute best_model's test set RMSE.
