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)`.

    Parameters are inherited from ``Metric.__init__``.

    Args:
        output_transform: a callable that is used to transform the
            :class:`~ignite.engine.engine.Engine`'s ``process_function``'s output into the
            form expected by the metric. This can be useful if, for example, you have a multi-output model and
            you want to compute the metric with respect to one of the outputs.
            By default, metrics require the output as ``(y_pred, y)`` or ``{'y_pred': y_pred, 'y': y}``.
        device: specifies which device updates are accumulated on. Setting the
            metric's device to be the same as your ``update`` arguments ensures the ``update`` method is
            non-blocking. By default, CPU.
