MAPE
The Mean Absolute Percent Error, determined using the absolute difference between demand and forecast over a period. Calculated as [Σ N observations (Abs(Demand of X periods - Forecast of X periods))] / [Σ N observations ((Demand of X periods + Forecast of X periods) / 2)]
The range is [0, 2]
A value closer to zero indicates an accurate forecast
