Linear and nonlinear multivariate least sum of absolute deviations regression models are profiled and evaluated. A chance-corrected measure of agreement between observed and predicted values is presented, a technique for establishing empirically-derived quantile limits for predicted values is introduced, and a permutation-based inference procedure for the measure of agreement is described.
