Terms: Forecast vs Forecast Error We clarify the terms used in the practice problems and the final exam problems. Some statisticians speak of the standard deviation or variance of the forecast. The forecast here is the distribution of future values. It is a random variable‚ which has a standard error (standard deviation and variance). Other statisticians use the term forecast for the mean of the distribution of future values. The forecast error (the error term in the forecast) is the distribution
