Research Brief: Determining the Intrinsic Predictability of Freshwater Parameters
Samantha Baxter
In the wake of rapidly growing environmental datasets, researchers are leveraging data to create predictive models to forecast environmental changes. However, the predictability of certain parameters can vary, leading to variances in model performance.
This is referred to as intrinsic predictability, which influences how successful models can be at predicting future scenarios for certain ecological variables. For example, a variable with low intrinsic predictability cannot be consistently...
