As we see from the definitions of MAE and MSE, the key difference between them is that MAE uses the absolute error whilst MSE uses the squared error. But what is the difference between these two calculations?
The key difference between squared error and absolute error is that squared error punishes large errors to a greater extent than absolute error, as the errors are squared instead of just calculating the difference.
