/// <summary>
/// SMAPE: Symmetric Mean Absolute Percentage Error
/// </summary>
/// <remarks>
/// SMAPE is a percentage-based error metric that treats over-predictions and
/// under-predictions symmetrically. Unlike MAPE, it uses the average of actual
/// and predicted values in the denominator.
///
/// Formula:
/// SMAPE = (200/n) * Σ(|actual - predicted| / (|actual| + |predicted|))
///
/// Key properties:
/// - Bounded between 0% and 200%
/// - Symmetric: same penalty for over/under-prediction
/// - Handles zero values better than MAPE (when only one is zero)
/// - Scale-independent (expressed as percentage)
/// </remarks>
