A Predicted Value is an data inference of a prediction act for some item.

• Context:
  • It can range from being a Predicted Class to being a Predicted Score to being a Predicted Rank to being a Predicted Number to being a Predicted Range.
  • It can be validated against an Actual Value.
  • It can be associated with a Confidence Score (ranging from a strong prediction to a weak prediction).
  • It can be associated to a Predicted Value Distribution.
  • It can (typically) be created by a Predictive Model.
  • …
• Example(s):
  • a linguistic prediction, such as a predicted sentence parse (of a sentence parsing act).
  • a climatological prediction, such as: "Rain" is predicted for Vancouver 24 hours from now.

  • a societal prediction, such as: there will be few future murders (Pinker, 2011).
  • …
• Counter-Example(s):

  • a Logical Conclusion.
