A System Predictability Measure is a system measure that quantifies how well a system's state can be predicted.

  • AKA: Predictability.
  • Context:
    • It can involve a variety of techniques, such as statistical models, information theory, or machine learning algorithms.
    • It can be applied to various domains, including weather forecasting, financial markets, or complex systems analysis.
    • It can form the basis for predicting future states of a system using current and historical data.
    • It can inform optimization strategies by providing insights into the expected performance of different approaches.
    • ...
  • Example(s):
    • A mean square error of a forecast model.
    • Predictive Power, a predictability measure based on information-theoretical principles.
    • The theil index, a statistic used to measure the accuracy of time series forecasts.
    • The perplexity of a probabilistic model, used in information theory and machine learning to measure its predictive performance.
  • Counter-Example(s):
  • See: Prediction Model, Predictive Modelling Task, Saturation Value, Surprise Function.
