[docs]class MedianAbsoluteError(_BaseRegressionEpoch):
    r"""
    Calculates the Median Absolute Error:

    :math:`\text{MdAE} = \text{MD}_{j=1,n} \left( |A_j - P_j| \right)`,

    where :math:`A_j` is the ground truth and :math:`P_j` is the predicted value.

    More details can be found in `Botchkarev 2018`__.

    - `update` must receive output of the form `(y_pred, y)` or `{'y_pred': y_pred, 'y': y}`.
    - `y` and `y_pred` must be of same shape `(N, )` or `(N, 1)` and of type `float32`.

    .. warning::

        Current implementation stores all input data (output and target) in as tensors before computing a metric.
        This can potentially lead to a memory error if the input data is larger than available RAM.
