GoF function

Compute goodness-of-fit measures for DLMs

Computes mean absolute error (MAE), mean squared error (MSE), mean percentage error (MPE), symmetric mean absolute percentage error (sMAPE), mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), mean absolute scaled error (MASE), mean relative absolute error (MRAE), geometric mean relative absolute error (GMRAE), mean bounded relative absolute error (MBRAE), unscaled MBRAE (UMBRAE) for distributed lag models.

GoF(model, ...)
MASE(model, ...)
sMAPE(model, ...)
MAPE(model, ...)
MRAE(model, ...)
GMRAE(model, ...)
MBRAE(model, ...)

Arguments

• model: Model object fitted for time series data.
• ...: Optionally, more fitted models.

Details

See Chen et al. (2017) for the definitions of MSE, MAE, MAPE, sMAPE, MRAE, GMRAE, MBRAE, UMBMRAE.

Let $e_{t} = Y_{t}-\hat{Y}_{t}$ be the one-step-ahead forecast error. Then, a scaled error is defined as

which is independent of the scale of the data. Mean absolute scaled error is defined as

(Hyndman and Koehler, 2006).

Fitted models would be finite, polynomial, Koyck, ARDL DLMs, or linear model fitted with lm() function. This function also computes MASE values of multiple models when fed at the same time.
