#' Compute Symmetric Mean Absolute Percentage Error (SMAPE)

#' SMAPE is computed as \eqn{mean(abs(forecast - validation) / ((abs(forecast) + abs(validation)) / 2))}.
#'
#' @param forecast A numeric vector of forecasted values
#' @param validation A numeric vector of actual (real) values
#' @return A Symmetric Mean Absolute Percentage Error (SMAPE)
