For example, how far from the average can the specimens be before the method loses its predictive accuracy?

The h-index has been found to have slightly less predictive accuracy and precision than the simpler measure of mean citations per paper.

Agent-based models are less concerned with predictive accuracy and instead emphasize theoretical development.

Pruning should reduce the size of a learning tree without reducing predictive accuracy as measured by a test set or using cross-validation.

The Financial Times and other business publications have reported on Left's notable predictive accuracy.

Future advances in technology may disclose other, more sensitive markers of cell proliferation whose predictive accuracy is greater.

But climatic and atmospheric change is so complex that there is great uncertainty about the predictive accuracy of the models.

Over time, as successive modifications build on top of each other, theories consistently improve and greater predictive accuracy is achieved.

Grafting is the process of adding nodes to inferred decision trees to improve the predictive accuracy.

For example, in the 1940s, large groups of individuals betting on elections had remarkable predictive accuracy.
