mispredict
Guess the future incorrectly
To mispredict is to predict incorrectly—to forecast or anticipate something that doesn't come to pass as expected.
The term appears often in technical contexts like machine learning, where a model mispredicts outcomes, and in cognitive science, where the brain mispredicts sensory input: The algorithm mispredicted customer behavior.
A misprediction is the noun form.
