Mean Absolute Error
Mean Absolute Error
The arithmetic mean of the absolute values of the errors in a set of measurements. Indicates the average magnitude of errors.
Relative Error
Relative Error
The ratio of the mean absolute error to the most probable value. Expresses error relative to the measurement size.
Absolute Error
Absolute Error
The magnitude of the difference between a single measurement and the true value. Reflects the deviation of a single point.
