overprediction

To account for this overprediction a competition modifier based on modelled root-zone water storage was added into the model.

However, increasing the curve number to reflect AMC 3 resulted in improper synthesis of the flood hydrograph and gross overprediction of peak flow.

"Overprediction would inevitably lead to a disproportionate number of patients being targeted for treatment, affecting health care resources and potentially exposing patients to unnecessary treatment," Dr. Francisco Buitrago and colleagues write in the Annals of Family Medicine.

The analysis showed that the omission of the Ontario network causes a 10-35% underprediction of wet deposition in the area east of Lake Huron and southern Lake Superior and a less than 10% overprediction in northern Ontario.

As slight overprediction of ORFs is generally desirable for the purpose of expression array building, the post-prediction filtering of the GlimmerM output was modified with respect to the process used by the Malaria Genome Consortium [ 21].

A systematic upward bias in PA such as this, likely due to overprediction of dam EBV, would not have necessarily caused the observed increases in s2S, however, because such a bias would have been accounted for in the effects of the population mean.

In fact, we prefer to underpredict activity (i.e. some experimentally active molecules being predicted to be inactive) rather than overpredict it (when some experimentally inactive molecules are predicted to be active), since overprediction can lead to the design of drug candidates that lack efficacy.
