Mean Absolute Error / Mean Absolute Deviation splitting criterion #543

Closed cargomoose closed 4 years ago

cargomoose commented 4 years ago

Could a Mean Absolute Deviation based splitting rule please be added for regression. Mean Absolute Deviation is just the mean of the absolute difference of predicted and actual, it is to Mean Absolute Error what Variance is to Mean Squared Error. Ideally, can this option also be available for Extratrees.
