The phrase "absolute forecast" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts where a prediction is made with complete certainty or without any doubt.
Example: "The meteorologist provided an absolute forecast for the upcoming week, assuring us that there would be no rain."
Alternatives: "definitive prediction" or "unconditional forecast".
SES takes into account many factors: the analyst's absolute forecast error, the analyst's error compared with other analysts, the variance of the analysts' errors, the timing of the estimates and the absolute value of the actual earnings for the stock.
SES takes into account many factors: the analyst's absolute forecast error (or the percentage difference, expressed as a positive number, that the analyst's estimate differed from reported results), the analyst's error compared with other analysts, the variance of the analyst's errors, the timing of the estimates and the absolute value of the actual earnings for the stock.
RAS takes into account many factors: the analyst's absolute forecast error (the percentage difference, expressed as a positive number, that the analyst's estimate differed from reported results), the analyst's error compared to other analysts, the variance of the analysts' errors over time, the timing of the estimates and the absolute value of the actual earnings for the stock.

49 For the purposes of forecasting, visualisations of forecasts compared to observations and forecast accuracy measures, such as the mean absolute forecast error, provide more direct and intuitive model selection criteria.
Forecast errors were calculated by subtracting fitted values from actual health state values and dividing by the mean actual health state value to convert absolute forecast errors into relative forecast errors as a percentage of the actual sample mean health state value.
This accuracy measure consists of a ratio that gives the proportion of periods in which the model under evaluation obtains a lower absolute forecasting error than the benchmark model.

The weather forecast reports absolute values and seasonal forecast reports average over time.
In order to obtain the yield forecast in absolute terms, Yrel is then multiplied with average observed yield.
Different cost functions correspond to different distributional assumptions regarding the data, the appropriate choice depends on whether a forecast of absolute pollutant concentration or prediction of exceedence events is of principle importance.
