The forecasts generated by two forecasting

3. What is the MAD, the MSE, the MAPE, the RSFE, and the tracking signal for each forecasting method? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to two decimal places. Use the minus sign to enter negative values, if any. RSFE MAD MSE MAPE Forecast 1.49 8 4.17 52.17 1 % Forecast 1.27 -32 3.50 24 2 % Forecast 1 Tracking Signal: 1.92 Forecast 2 Tracking Signal: -9.14 4. What can be concluded about the quality of the forecasts 1? Assume that the control limit for the tracking signal is +3. The results indicate no bias v in the forecasts 1, and that the tracking signal is within the control limits of +3. 5. What can be concluded about the quality of the forecasts 2? Assume that the control limit for the tracking signal is +3. The results indicate bias in the forecasts 2, and that the tracking signal is notv within the control limits of +3. .
