English term or phrase: out (men absolute percentage error)
Table 5.5 compares a sequence of forecast values with the actual outturns.
Column d indicates that the forecasting errors cancel out overall,
which does not reveal very much about the average error. Column e
reveals that the average error, ignoring sign (ie, mad), is $2.4. Column f
shows that the average forecast, ignoring sign, was 1.8% out (mape).
