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.

Can the absolute error be a negative?

No, the absolute error cannot be negative. Absolute error is defined as the absolute value of the difference between the measured value and the true value, which ensures that it is always non-negative. It is calculated as |measured value - true value|, and since absolute values are always positive or zero, the absolute error itself will also never be negative.

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.


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.
