prediction model
Outcome forecasting system
A prediction model is a mathematical or statistical framework that uses existing data to forecast future outcomes or behaviors.
In machine learning and data science, prediction models analyze patterns in training data to make estimates about new cases: The prediction model flagged the transaction as likely fraudulent.
Common types include regression models, neural networks, and decision trees.
The term emphasizes the model's purpose—generating predictions—rather than its underlying structure.
