Add MASE Performance measure #44

Closed antoinecarme closed 7 years ago

antoinecarme commented 7 years ago

According to

https://www.otexts.org/fpp/2/5

MAPE/SMAPE are not reliable performance measures for model selection.

The authors recommend MASE (mean absolute scaled error):

MASE=mean(|qj|).

where qj is the scaled error.
