From 6e24fea8b71acbf3200c2e3abb6a88ff0554aa69 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Miha Kralj Date: Tue, 30 Dec 2025 09:27:08 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Add Tukey's Biweight and WMAPE implementations with comprehensive tests and documentation - Introduced Tukey's Biweight as a robust loss function, including mathematical foundation, usage patterns, and performance profile. - Added WMAPE (Weighted Mean Absolute Percentage Error) implementation, emphasizing its advantages for intermittent demand forecasting. - Created unit tests for WMAPE covering various scenarios including edge cases and batch calculations. - Documented both Tukey's Biweight and WMAPE with detailed explanations, properties, and common use cases. --- lib/errors/huber/Huber.cs | 193 ++++++-- lib/errors/logcosh/LogCosh.Tests.cs | 407 +++++++++++++++++ lib/errors/logcosh/LogCosh.cs | 244 ++++++++++ lib/errors/logcosh/LogCosh.md | 145 ++++++ lib/errors/maape/Maape.Tests.cs | 402 +++++++++++++++++ lib/errors/maape/Maape.cs | 234 ++++++++++ lib/errors/maape/Maape.md | 143 ++++++ lib/errors/mae/Mae.cs | 166 +++++-- lib/errors/mdae/Mdae.Tests.cs | 331 ++++++++++++++ lib/errors/mdae/Mdae.cs | 223 +++++++++ lib/errors/mdae/Mdae.md | 132 ++++++ lib/errors/mdape/Mdape.Tests.cs | 366 +++++++++++++++ lib/errors/mdape/Mdape.cs | 227 ++++++++++ lib/errors/mdape/Mdape.md | 129 ++++++ lib/errors/me/Me.cs | 142 ++++-- lib/errors/mrae/Mrae.Tests.cs | 333 ++++++++++++++ lib/errors/mrae/Mrae.cs | 228 ++++++++++ lib/errors/mrae/Mrae.md | 126 ++++++ lib/errors/mse/Mse.cs | 167 +++++-- lib/errors/pseudohuber/PseudoHuber.Tests.cs | 476 ++++++++++++++++++++ lib/errors/pseudohuber/PseudoHuber.cs | 258 +++++++++++ lib/errors/pseudohuber/PseudoHuber.md | 156 +++++++ lib/errors/quantile/QuantileLoss.Tests.cs | 390 ++++++++++++++++ lib/errors/quantile/QuantileLoss.cs | 242 ++++++++++ lib/errors/quantile/QuantileLoss.md | 143 ++++++ lib/errors/rmse/Rmse.cs | 153 +++++-- lib/errors/theilu/TheilU.Tests.cs | 372 +++++++++++++++ lib/errors/theilu/TheilU.cs | 288 ++++++++++++ lib/errors/theilu/TheilU.md | 136 ++++++ lib/errors/tukey/TukeyBiweight.Tests.cs | 409 +++++++++++++++++ lib/errors/tukey/TukeyBiweight.cs | 287 ++++++++++++ lib/errors/tukey/TukeyBiweight.md | 147 ++++++ lib/errors/wmape/Wmape.Tests.cs | 359 +++++++++++++++ lib/errors/wmape/Wmape.cs | 254 +++++++++++ lib/errors/wmape/Wmape.md | 139 ++++++ 35 files changed, 8341 insertions(+), 206 deletions(-) create mode 100644 lib/errors/logcosh/LogCosh.Tests.cs create mode 100644 lib/errors/logcosh/LogCosh.cs create mode 100644 lib/errors/logcosh/LogCosh.md create mode 100644 lib/errors/maape/Maape.Tests.cs create mode 100644 lib/errors/maape/Maape.cs create mode 100644 lib/errors/maape/Maape.md create mode 100644 lib/errors/mdae/Mdae.Tests.cs create mode 100644 lib/errors/mdae/Mdae.cs create mode 100644 lib/errors/mdae/Mdae.md create mode 100644 lib/errors/mdape/Mdape.Tests.cs create mode 100644 lib/errors/mdape/Mdape.cs create mode 100644 lib/errors/mdape/Mdape.md create mode 100644 lib/errors/mrae/Mrae.Tests.cs create mode 100644 lib/errors/mrae/Mrae.cs create mode 100644 lib/errors/mrae/Mrae.md create mode 100644 lib/errors/pseudohuber/PseudoHuber.Tests.cs create mode 100644 lib/errors/pseudohuber/PseudoHuber.cs create mode 100644 lib/errors/pseudohuber/PseudoHuber.md create mode 100644 lib/errors/quantile/QuantileLoss.Tests.cs create mode 100644 lib/errors/quantile/QuantileLoss.cs create mode 100644 lib/errors/quantile/QuantileLoss.md create mode 100644 lib/errors/theilu/TheilU.Tests.cs create mode 100644 lib/errors/theilu/TheilU.cs create mode 100644 lib/errors/theilu/TheilU.md create mode 100644 lib/errors/tukey/TukeyBiweight.Tests.cs create mode 100644 lib/errors/tukey/TukeyBiweight.cs create mode 100644 lib/errors/tukey/TukeyBiweight.md create mode 100644 lib/errors/wmape/Wmape.Tests.cs create mode 100644 lib/errors/wmape/Wmape.cs create mode 100644 lib/errors/wmape/Wmape.md diff --git a/lib/errors/huber/Huber.cs b/lib/errors/huber/Huber.cs index 5ecc6a9a..f78b1425 100644 --- a/lib/errors/huber/Huber.cs +++ b/lib/errors/huber/Huber.cs @@ -1,5 +1,8 @@ +using System.Numerics; using System.Runtime.CompilerServices; using System.Runtime.InteropServices; +using System.Runtime.Intrinsics; +using System.Runtime.Intrinsics.X86; namespace QuanTAlib; @@ -55,9 +58,11 @@ public sealed class Huber : AbstractBase private double CalculateHuberLoss(double error) { double absError = Math.Abs(error); + // Use FMA for the linear portion: delta * absError - halfDeltaSquared + // = FMA(delta, absError, -halfDeltaSquared) return absError <= _delta ?

It's essential for probabilistic forecasting where different quantiles of the distribution matter. + +## Historical Context + +Quantile Loss emerged from quantile regression, developed by Koenker and Bassett in 1978. Unlike ordinary regression which targets the mean, quantile regression targets specific percentiles of the distribution. The quantile loss function enables this by penalizing errors differently based on their sign and the target quantile. + +## Architecture & Physics + +The loss function applies a multiplier of τ (tau) to under-predictions and (1-τ) to over-predictions, where τ is the target quantile. For τ=0.5 (median), the loss is symmetric and equals half the absolute error. For τ=0.9, under-predictions are penalized 9x more than over-predictions. + +### Properties + +- **Asymmetric**: Different penalties for under vs. over prediction +- **Non-negative**: Always ≥ 0, with 0 for perfect prediction +- **Interpretable**: τ directly controls the penalty asymmetry +- **Distribution-free**: No assumptions about error distribution + +## Mathematical Foundation + +### 1.

WMAPE naturally captures this by summing absolute errors before dividing by summed actuals. + +## Architecture & Physics + +WMAPE accumulates both absolute errors and actual values, then computes their ratio. This approach means larger actual values contribute proportionally more to the final metric, providing a volume-weighted view of accuracy. + +### Properties + +- **Volume-weighted**: High-value items contribute more to the metric +- **Scale-independent**: Result is always a percentage +- **Non-negative**: WMAPE ≥ 0, with 0 indicating perfect prediction +- **Aggregate interpretation**: Represents total error as percentage of total actual + +## Mathematical Foundation + +### 1. Weighted Error Accumulation + +Sum absolute errors and actual values separately: + +$$\text{Total Error} = \sum_{i=1}^{n} |y_i - \hat{y}_i|$$ + +$$\text{Total Actual} = \sum_{i=1}^{n} |y_i|$$ + +### 2. WMAPE Calculation + +Divide total error by total actual: + +$$WMAPE = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^{n} |y_i - \hat{y}_i|}{\sum_{i=1}^{n} |y_i|} \times 100$$ + +### 3.
