If the true value is t and the calculated or measured value is v then absolute error = |v - t|, the absolute value of (v - t).

If v >= t then the absolute value is v - t
if v <= t then the absolute value is t - v.

How do you calculate the mean absolute percent error with a 0 actual value?

By definition of percent error, you can't. But you can approximate zero instead, with the number of decimals appropriate to the accuracy of the measurement, e.g. 0.01, 1E-100, etc.


What is mean absolute percentage error?

The mean absolute percent prediction error (MAPE), .The summation ignores observations where yt = 0.


The height of a plant is 45 cm with an estimated absolute error of 0.9 cm what percent is the relative error?

To get the relative error is the maximum error over the measurement. So the maximum error is the absolute error divided by 2. So the maximum error is 0.45. The relative error is 0.45 over 45 cm.


Can you calculate percent error of the results from an experiment?

(experimental value - accepted value)/accepted value x 100 This is an absolute value, so ignore any minus sign.


How do you calculate percentage error?

It is your estimate minus the true value divided by the true value and multiplied by 100. So, % error = (estimate - actual) / actual * 100, in absolute value. For example, if you estimate that there are 90 jelly beans in a jar when there are actually 130 your percentage error is: (90-130)/130 * 100 = -40/130 * 100 = -0.308*100 = -30.8% After absolute value, the answer is simply 30.769, or 30.8%.
