[docs]class MaximumAbsoluteError(_BaseRegression):
    r"""
    Calculates the Maximum Absolute Error:

    :math:`\text{MaxAE} = \max_{j=1,n} \left( \lvert A_j-P_j \rvert \right)`,

    where :math:`A_j` is the ground truth and :math:`P_j` is the predicted value.

    More details can be found in `Botchkarev 2018`__.

    - ``update`` must receive output of the form ``(y_pred, y)`` or ``{'y_pred': y_pred, 'y': y}``.
    - `y` and `y_pred` must be of same shape `(N, )` or `(N, 1)`.
