Mean absolute error (MAR) and the mean relative error (MRE) of the predicted lung function values. The MAR is given as the amount of the absolute error needed to compensate the negative signs. FEV1: forced expiratory volume in one second; VC: vital capacity; RV: residual volume; TLC: total lung capacity; kNN: k-nearest neighbour; MRE: mean relative error; MAR: mean absolute error.
