nonpredictive
Lacking predictive power
Nonpredictive describes something that doesn't forecast or anticipate future outcomes.
A nonpredictive model makes no claims about what will happen: The study was purely descriptive and nonpredictive.
In grammar, nonpredictive adjectives modify nouns without asserting a prediction about them.
The term appears in statistics, machine learning, and linguistic analysis.
