These are used to determine how well the trend will accurately predict the future volume. MAD. MAD stands for mean absolute deviation, which is the average of the absolute deviations.

Feb 26, 2010 · Although this percentage can be found by using a software program, the manual calculation is almost as easy. A Black Belt can calculate the same percentage by using the Z-score and referring to a normal distribution table. In this example, where z (number of s a value represents) = (216 – 203) / 13 = 13 / 13 = 1.
