How is absolute error different from mean absolute error?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To understand the difference between absolute error and mean absolute error, let's break it down step by step. ### Step 1: Define Absolute Error Absolute error is the difference between the measured value and the true value. It is calculated for each individual measurement. **Formula:** \[ \text{Absolute Error} = | \text{Measured Value} - \text{True Value} | \] ...
