#' Mean absolute percent error
#'
#' Calculate the mean absolute percentage error. This metric is in _relative
#' units_.
#'
#' Note that a value of `Inf` is returned for `mape()` when the
#' observed value is negative.

#' MAPE is a metric that should be `r attr(mape, "direction")`d. The output
#' ranges from `r metric_range_chr(mape, 1)` to `r metric_range_chr(mape, 2)`, with
#' `r metric_optimal(mape)` indicating perfect predictions.
#'
#' The formula for MAPE is:
#'
#' \deqn{\text{MAPE} = \frac{100}{n} \sum_{i=1}^{n} \left| \frac{\text{truth}_i - \text{estimate}_i}{\text{truth}_i} \right|}
