Predict

 

This option predicts the outputs for a given setting of the input variables. The value of the input variables to use is determined from the query point. For example, our friend the gardener might want to see the predicted flower-height and flower-brightness for the following regimen:

  Amount of Green-Grow        2.1 
  Amount of Mineral-Drops     5   
  Amount of Water             6
  Temperature                 20

To find EYE's prediction, the gardener must first tell EYE which regimen she wants to investigate. This is done by setting the query point to the corresponding values. In this case she would set the query point to be:

  2.1  5   6  20

She can then find EYE's prediction by selecting the Predict action, and pressing the RUN button.

Note that Predict uses the current GMString to determine which model is used when predicting the output. See section 5.11 for information on GMStrings.

Predict uses the following parameters: Classification/Regression, GMString, Query point.
