Answer Posted / Vijay Kumar Kannojia

Mean Absolute Error (MAE) is more appropriate than Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) when dealing with datasets having outliers or when the errors are asymmetric. MAE is less sensitive to large errors and can provide a clearer picture of model performance in such cases.
