gofMAPE: Mean Absolute Percentage Error
In ehaGoF: Calculates Goodness of Fit Statistics

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Note Author(s) References Examples

Calculates and returns the goodness of fit criterion: mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), a.k.a. mean absolute percentage deviation or MAPD.

1	gofMAPE(Obs, Prd, dgt=3)

`Obs`	Observed values or targets.
`Prd`	Predicted or expre-ected values produced by the model.
`dgt`	Number of digits in decimal places. Default is 3.

Mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) is a measure of prediction accuracy of a forecasting method in statistics. It is commonly used as a loss function for regression problems and in model evaluation, for its very intuitive interpretation in terms of relative error. It usually expresses accuracy as a percentage.

MAPE

Mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) of given set.
