Another look at measures of forecast accuracy
journal contribution
posted on 2017-06-08, 06:26 authored by Hyndman, Rob J., Koehler, Anne BWe discuss and compare measures of accuracy of univariate time series forecasts. The methods used in the M-competition and the M3-competition, and many of the measures recommended by previous authors on this topic, are found to be inadequate, and many of them are degenerate in commonly occurring situations. Instead, we propose that the mean absolute scaled error become the standard measure for comparing forecast accuracy across multiple time series.
