MAEi {TSEind}

Mean absolute error (MAE)

Description

Calculates MAE when Actual# and Survey# have independent samples

Usage

MAEi(Actual1, Survey1, ...)

Arguments

Actual1

data from a "gold standard" survey; data are assumed to be the "actual" response, without survey error

Survey1

data from another survey, but with survey error; function will calculate MAE for this survey

...

used for additional surveys with survey error, survey 2 through survey #

Value

Matrix with MAE values for survey 1 through survey #

Note

Make sure to properly order inputs, per the example: for each survey, inputs must be paired as Actual#, Survey#, and each pair given in sequential order

Examples

MAEi(Actual1=TESTIND$A1, Survey1=TESTIND$S1, Actual2=TESTIND$A1, Survey2=TESTIND$S2,
Actual3=TESTIND$A2, Survey3=TESTIND$S3)
