What is weighted forecast error?

0

Weighted forecast error just turns the MAPE into a weighted MAPE calculation. Each absolute error is weighted either by price or some other factor of importance. The weighted MAPE is the sum of all such weighted errors divided by the sum of the Actual volume similarly weighted. We can calculate a price weighted MAPE or a discrete-weighted MAPE that ranks items based on importance.
