I’m not sure. D) standard deviation to the MAD sounds interesting too.
RE
Regenia 6 months ago
I’m leaning towards A) forecast to the MAD. It sounds logical.
ST
Stephane 6 months ago
MAD is Mean Absolute Deviation. So, B is right!
MO
Mose 6 months ago
I feel confused about this one. What’s MAD again?
NY
Nydia 6 months ago
I think it's B) cumulative error to the MAD. Makes sense.

I thought it was A) at first, but B) makes sense.

Wait, are we sure about that? Seems off.
LO

Totally agree, that's the right one!
AN

The forecast tracking signal is like a crystal ball for your forecasts. Option D must be the answer!
SU
Susy 8 months ago
Hmm, I'm not sure. Is the forecast tracking signal related to the MAD in some way? This is a tricky one.
HU
Hubert 8 months ago
D seems like the correct answer. The forecast tracking signal is the ratio of the standard deviation to the MAD.
ED
Edelmira 8 months ago
C looks good to me. The forecast tracking signal is the ratio of the cumulative error to the forecast.
VE
Verlene 8 months ago
I’m pretty sure it’s not the standard deviation, but I can’t recall if it’s cumulative error or something else.
CH
Chery 9 months ago
I feel like I might be mixing up the definitions, but I thought the tracking signal was the forecast divided by the MAD.
TY
Ty 9 months ago
I remember practicing a question like this, and I think the answer was about the cumulative error to the MAD.
NO
Noble 9 months ago
I think the tracking signal is related to the cumulative error, but I'm not entirely sure if it's with the MAD or something else.
DO
Dorothy 9 months ago
Hmm, I'm a bit stumped on this one. I know the forecast tracking signal is important, but I can't quite recall the exact formula. I'll have to use the process of elimination to narrow it down.
AL
Alpha 9 months ago
Ah, I've seen questions like this before. I'm pretty sure the forecast tracking signal is the ratio of the cumulative error to the forecast. Let me double-check that.
DO
Dong 9 months ago
I remember learning about forecast tracking signals in class. I think it has to do with the cumulative error, but I'm a little fuzzy on the details. I'll have to review my notes.
ST
Stephen 10 months ago
It's B) cumulative error to the MAD.
VA
Vallie 10 months ago
I think the answer is B. The forecast tracking signal is the ratio of the cumulative error to the MAD.
BL
Blondell 10 months ago
I remember it’s about error tracking. B is definitely the best choice.
LA
Lashawna 11 months ago
Okay, let's see. The forecast tracking signal is a ratio, so it's comparing two things. I'm guessing it has to do with the forecast and the MAD, but I'm not sure which ones exactly.
LA
Lavera 11 months ago
Hmm, this looks like it's testing my understanding of forecast tracking signals. I'll need to think through the definitions carefully.
