/// <summary>
/// MAPD: Mean Absolute Percentage Deviation
/// A percentage-based error metric that measures the average absolute percentage
/// difference between predicted and actual values. MAPD expresses accuracy as a
/// percentage, making it scale-independent and easy to interpret.
/// </summary>
/// <remarks>
/// The MAPD calculation process:
/// 1. Calculates absolute percentage difference for each point
/// 2. Sums all absolute percentage differences
/// 3. Divides by the number of observations
///
/// Key characteristics:
/// - Scale-independent (percentage-based)
/// - Easy to interpret (0-100% range)
/// - Useful for comparing different scales
/// - Cannot handle zero actual values
/// - Asymmetric (treats over/under predictions differently)
///
/// Formula:
/// MAPD = (1/n) * Σ|((actual - predicted) / actual)|
///
/// Sources:
///     https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_absolute_percentage_error
///     https://www.statisticshowto.com/mean-absolute-percentage-error-mape/
///
/// Note: Also known as MAPE (Mean Absolute Percentage Error) in some contexts
