climpred.metrics._median_absolute_error(forecast, verif, dim=None, **metric_kwargs)[source]¶

Median Absolute Error.

$median(|f - o|)$

The median of the absolute differences between forecasts and verification data. Applying the median function to absolute error makes it more robust to outliers.

Parameters

forecast (xarray object) – Forecast.
verif (xarray object) – Verification data.
dim (str) – Dimension(s) to perform metric over.
metric_kwargs (dict) – see median_absolute_error()
