Relative change. In any quantitative science, the terms relative change and relative difference are used to compare two quantities while taking into account the "sizes" of the things being compared, i.e. dividing by a standard or reference or starting value. [1] The comparison is expressed as a ratio and is a unitless number.

Conceptually, this method rounds to the integer that has the smallest relative (percent) difference. For example, 2.47 and 3 is about 19%, while the difference from 2 is about 21%, so 2.47 is rounded up. This method is used for allotting seats in the US House of Representatives among the states.
Fold change. Fold change is a measure describing how much a quantity changes between an original and a subsequent measurement. It is defined as the ratio between the two quantities; for quantities A and B the fold change of B with respect to A is B / A. In other words, a change from 30 to 60 is defined as a fold-change of 2.
In probability theory and statistics, the coefficient of variation ( CV ), also known as normalized root-mean-square deviation (NRMSD), percent RMS, and relative standard deviation ( RSD ), is a standardized measure of dispersion of a probability distribution or frequency distribution. It is defined as the ratio of the standard deviation to the ...
The mean absolute difference (univariate) is a measure of statistical dispersion equal to the average absolute difference of two independent values drawn from a probability distribution. A related statistic is the relative mean absolute difference, which is the mean absolute difference divided by the arithmetic mean, and equal to twice the Gini ...
Percentage is also used to express composition of a mixture by mass percent and mole percent. Related units Visualisation of 1%, 1‰, 1‱, 1 pcm and 1 ppm as fractions of the large block . Percentage point difference of 1 part in 100; Per mille (‰) 1 part in 1,000; Basis point (bp) difference of 1 part in 10,000
The absolute difference between A t and F t is divided by half the sum of absolute values of the actual value A t and the forecast value F t. The value of this calculation is summed for every fitted point t and divided again by the number of fitted points n .
