Predictive describes something that forecasts or indicates future events or outcomes.
A predictive model uses data to anticipate what will happen.
Predictive text suggests words as you type based on patterns.
The test has little predictive value for actual job performance.
The word appears frequently in statistics, medicine, and technology contexts.
