Fortunately, that unachievable level is unnecessary for models to
provide useful predictions.
Not exact matches
Although
useful for making short - term
predictions, these models
provide little insight into how the higher education system evolves in response to external changes.
The objective of these models would not be to
provide a precise forecast of the future (an impossible task), but rather to capture enough of the behavior of the educational system to make
useful qualitative
predictions.
Professor Fedy's map
predictions can not replace on - the - ground monitoring for potential risk of wind turbines on wildlife populations, though they
provide industry and managers a
useful framework to first assess potential development.
For example, drought is an important contributing factor to the occurrence of wildfire, thus accurate drought
prediction may
provide useful information for wildfire risk mitigation.
Again, it can be
useful to stop and contemplate whether a simple conceptual framework can
provide greater understanding of climate model
predictions and the observations we make on the climate system.
Even a low CE value may still
provide prediction intervals that are
useful for drawing particular scientific conclusions.
Of course if there is some
prediction that can be made that can be used to test the output, great, but I would think simply trying to describe how some system likely evolved based on what is known, parameterizing (with care / justification) where grid - scale requires it, etc, can
provide something
useful.
If you want
predictions beyond that you need an almanac, which is not a high grade class of
prediction, but still does
provide some
useful information.
As the tool now
provides a
prediction and a range, a mere list of cases is less
useful.
For example, in the MTA sample, correlations between measures reflecting the actual reports of peers about one another were correlated only 0.01 to 0.27 in magnitude with ratings of peer functioning obtained from parents and teachers, suggesting that reports by adults are not
useful proxies for the perspectives of one's peers.27 Given that views of one's peers
provide better
prediction to later psychiatric problems, 3 the use of adult report to index intervention outcomes in studies targeting the peer relationship problems of children is likely to prove a limited measurement approach.
