How to read this report
Price Accuracy
How close forecasts were to actual prices on average, as a single %, easiest to scan (100% − average price error). 80%+ is a solid forecast; below 65% means the market/grade needs attention.
MAPE (Mean Absolute % Error)
The average size of the forecast error, as a % of the actual price. Price Accuracy above is just 100 − MAPE.
RMSE / MAE
The typical forecast error in rupees per kg (RMSE weights large misses more heavily than MAE).
Directional accuracy
% of days the forecast correctly called whether the price would go up or down from the day before — useful even when the exact price is off.
Interval coverage
% of days the actual price landed inside the forecast's own lower/upper band. Close to 100% means the model's uncertainty range is trustworthy; well below it means the band is too narrow.

% of days the forecast correctly called the direction (up/down) of the next day's price move.

Error drift over forecast horizon

Mean absolute % error, bucketed by days since each series' forecast start (pooled across markets, split by grade). These are recursive multi-step forecasts, so error is expected to grow with horizon.
