Value 19 14 16 10 18 15

Using the nave method (most recent value) as the forecast for the next week, compute the following measures of forecast accuracy:

  1. Mean absolute error (MAE)
  2. Mean squared error (MSE)
  3. Mean absolute percentage error (MAPE)

Round your answers to two decimal places.

MAE = fill in the blank

MSE = fill in the blank

MAPE = fill in the blank

Using the average of all the historical data as a forecast for the next period, compute the same three values. Round your answers to two decimal places.

MAE = fill in the blank

MSE = fill in the blank

MAPE = fill in the blank
