Package Exports

@stdlib/stats-incr-maape

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@stdlib/stats-incr-maape) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

incrmaape

Compute the mean arctangent absolute percentage error (MAAPE) incrementally.

The mean arctangent absolute percentage error is defined as

Equation for the mean arctangent absolute percentage error.

where f_i is the forecast value and a_i is the actual value.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/stats-incr-maape

Usage

var incrmaape = require( '@stdlib/stats-incr-maape' );

incrmaape()

Returns an accumulator function which incrementally computes the mean arctangent absolute percentage error.

var accumulator = incrmaape();

accumulator( [f, a] )

If provided input values f and a, the accumulator function returns an updated mean arctangent absolute percentage error. If not provided input values f and a, the accumulator function returns the current mean arctangent absolute percentage error.

var accumulator = incrmaape();

var m = accumulator( 2.0, 3.0 );
// returns ~0.3218

m = accumulator( 1.0, 4.0 );
// returns ~0.4826

m = accumulator( 3.0, 5.0 );
// returns ~0.4486

m = accumulator();
// returns ~0.4486

Notes

Input values are not type checked. If provided NaN or a value which, when used in computations, results in NaN, the accumulated value is NaN for all future invocations. If non-numeric inputs are possible, you are advised to type check and handle accordingly before passing the value to the accumulator function.
Note that, unlike the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), the mean arctangent absolute percentage error is expressed in radians on the interval [0,π/2].

Examples

var randu = require( '@stdlib/random-base-randu' );
var incrmaape = require( '@stdlib/stats-incr-maape' );

var accumulator;
var v1;
var v2;
var i;

// Initialize an accumulator:
accumulator = incrmaape();

// For each simulated datum, update the mean arctangent absolute percentage error...
for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
    v1 = ( randu()*100.0 ) + 50.0;
    v2 = ( randu()*100.0 ) + 50.0;
    accumulator( v1, v2 );
}
console.log( accumulator() );
