environmentaltools.common.maximum_absolute_error(a, b)

Calculate Maximum Absolute Error between two arrays.

The MAE measures the largest absolute difference between predicted and observed values. Useful for identifying worst-case errors.

Parameters:

• a (array-like) – First array (e.g., observed values).

• b (array-like) – Second array (e.g., predicted values).

Returns:

The maximum absolute error value.

Return type:

float
