Mean Absolute Error Calculator

The mean absolute error (MAE) is a metric used in regression analysis to determine the average magnitude of the error on a set of predicted values. The MAE is calculated as the sum of absolute errors divided by the sample size. The formula for MAE is as follows:

MAE = (1/n) * Σ|Pi – Oi|

where:

  • Σ = Sum over all considered values
  • Pi = ith Predicted value
  • Oi = ith Observed value
  • n = sample size
