* MAPE is the mean absolute percentage error that measures the percentage difference between a model's projection and the actual point pace

** MAD is the mean absolute deviation that measures the numerical difference between a model's projection and the actual point pace

*** IQR is the interquartile range that shows the variance of a model's projection and the actual point pace after removing any significant outliers (below the 25th percentile and above the 75th percentile)
