Adding MAE as a standard output for regression tasks

[hadjipantelis]

Regression tasks out-of-the-box are showing only RMSE and R^2; MAE has been added. Given that a lot of algorithms working with L1 norms I think it will be beneficial for users to immediately be able to check absolute errors too. L1 is not some arcane specialised norm and I think adding MAE to the defaults will save valuable time (and potential bugs) for people writing their own cost functions to add MAE-like measures.

Can you add a note on this to News.Rd?

There is no section for the next/next release and I am unaware of the version numbering you would like to use. Would you like me to create a section for Changes in version 6.0-77 and take it from there? Should I change the DESCRIPTION file to indicate 6.0-77 too? (or any other version number is appropriate)

I've trying adding MBE and NSE as well to the outcome... but couldn't make it happen..

Go ahead and file a separate issue and carefully read the instructions on the issue package to create a reproducible example. Also, in the issue, please define MBE and NSE (nonstandard evaluation?)
