There are many problems with MAPE, see https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/299712/what-are-the-shortcomings-of-the-mean-absolute-percentage-error-mape/299713#299713 or https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/280464/is-mape-a-good-error-measurement-statistic-and-what-alternatives-are-there/280469#280469, why do you need MAPE? – Tim Sep 25 '18 at 08:04
