rmape: Evaluate the Model Based on RMAPE (Relative MAPE)

Description

This function computes RMAPE given prediction result versus evaluation set.

Usage

rmape(x, pred_bench, y, ...)

# S3 method for predbvhar rmape(x, pred_bench, y, ...)

# S3 method for bvharcv rmape(x, pred_bench, y, ...)

Value

RMAPE vector corresponding to each variable.

Arguments

x

Forecasting object to use

pred_bench

The same forecasting object from benchmark model

y

Test data to be compared. should be the same format with the train data.

...

not used

Details

RMAPE is the ratio of MAPE of given model and the benchmark one. Let \(MAPE_b\) be the MAPE of the benchmark model. Then

$$RMAPE = \frac{mean(MAPE)}{mean(MAPE_b)}$$

where \(MAPE\) is the MAPE of our model.
