All Implemented Interfaces:

IOObject, ResultObject, java.lang.Cloneable, java.lang.Comparable<Averagable>

public class AbsoluteError
extends SimpleCriterion

The absolute error: Sum(|label-predicted|)/#examples. Mean absolue error is the average of the difference between predicted and actual value in all test cases; it is the average prediction error.
