Oct 30, 2015 at 7:30 comment added Stephan Kolassa @forecaster: if you have a single series, then I agree that the MASE is less informative than the MAE, since the MASE is simply the MAE scaled by a factor that does not depend on the forecast (namely, the in-sample naive forecast MAE). The MASE makes sense once you have multiple series on different levels, where you can't very well compare "raw" MAEs.

Oct 30, 2015 at 2:16 comment added forecaster MASE is unnecessary complication in this instance, why not MAE or sMAPE? Seems to be both are very apt for this type of problem.
Oct 29, 2015 at 20:22 comment added zbicyclist It does seem odd to see an MASE of 6. I note in the R forecast package documentation (of accuracy) that by default MASE uses a seasonal naive forecast for seasonal series. So it could be that the model fit is handling seasonality very incorrectly.
