From theCambridge English Corpus

From theCambridge English Corpus
Unfortunately, at the moment, we have no methods to numerically calculate a potentially better measure, such as the meanabsoluteerror.
From theCambridge English Corpus
If theabsoluteerrorexceeded the specified bound, the integration step-size was halved.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Theabsoluteerrorwas found by graphical extrapolation, and the results indicated a positive error which increased linearly with hole size but was independent of velocity.
From theCambridge English Corpus
At beam width 11, average word accuracy for clean speech is 89.8% without-gesture and 91.8% with-gesture; anabsoluteerrorreduction of 2% (relative error reduction of 20%).
From theCambridge English Corpus
At beam width 11, average sentence accuracy is 62.7% in the without-gesture condition and 71.4% in the with-gesture condition; anabsoluteerrorreduction of 8.7% (relative error reduction of 23%).
From theCambridge English Corpus
The connection is that the mean is the single estimate of a distribution that minimizes expected squared error while the median minimizes expectedabsoluteerror.
From
Wikipedia
Theabsoluteerroris the magnitude of the difference between the exact value and the approximation.
From
Wikipedia
The uncertainty is usually defined by theabsoluteerror"x".
From
Wikipedia
This approximation has a constant relative error of an 8% underestimation, which produces a linearly increasingabsoluteerrorof about 1% for each 6 outs.
From
Wikipedia
It shows that the maximumabsoluteerrorin using the formula is around 0.0016.
From
Wikipedia
From a plot of the percentage value of theabsoluteerror, it is clear that the maximum percentage error is less than 1.8.
From
Wikipedia
Theabsoluteerroris halved at each step so the method converges linearly, which is comparatively slow.
From
Wikipedia
The relative error is theabsoluteerrordivided by the magnitude of the exact value.
From
Wikipedia
This is an issue when one wants to approximate very small quantities, for which theabsoluteerrormight be small, but the relative error important.
From
Wikipedia
When the "corner point" values are extremely low, even small absolute errors in predictions mean large percentage errors.
