Error Metric Table
       Error   Absolute Error  Squared Error
      --------------------------------------
Sum  | SE      S|E|            SE^2             
Mean | ME      M|E|            ME^S

Note: SE and ME don't work as distance metrics if you have errors with mixed signs as they will cancel out. Squares and absolute values don't suffer from this issue.

More commonly you'll see these abbreviations

       Error   Absolute Error  Squared Error
      --------------------------------------
Sum  | SE      SAE            SSE             
Mean | ME      MAE            MSE
