📈 Metrics
Upshot has appraised ~57 million assets from over 32k collections!
Median Absolute Percentage Errors (MAPE) for the more popular and liquid collections, typically between 3 - 8% and ~11% on average for less-liquid collections
Simply put, MAPE is a measurement of how accurate the predictions of a forecasting model are. For those of you that are data nerds, here's the formula to calculate MAPE.
