Predictability and Prediction

Journal of the Royal Statistical Society. Series A (Statistics in Society), 1993
A result can be regarded as routinely predictable when it has recurred consistently under a known range of different conditions. This depends on the previous analysis of many sets of data, drawn from different populations. There is no such basis of extensive experience when a prediction is derived from the analysis of only a single set of data.

MODEL IMPERFECTION AND PREDICTING PREDICTABILITY

International Journal of Bifurcation and Chaos, 2013
It has been argued that Lyapunov exponents as a measure of predictability are of limited value because they only provide a global average. Characterizing an attractor by a distribution of times for initial uncertainties to increase by a factor of q has been suggested as a more useful alternative.

When Predictions Don't Predict

Australian and New Zealand Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, 1991
EDITORIAL COMMENT: We accepted this paper to remind readers that the rules of clinical common sense as well as the results of statistical calculations are needed to judge published results of clinical trials. Statistical rules for design of a trial should be followed, and advice of a statistician sought before rather than after a study begins.

El Niño prediction and predictability

Journal of Computational Physics, 2008
El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is by far the most energetic, and at present also the most predictable, short-term fluctuation in the Earth's climate system, though the limits of its predictability are still a subject of considerable debate. As a result of over two-decades of intensive observational, theoretical and modeling efforts, ENSO's basic ...
