Abstract

A method for determining an output value having a known relationship to an input value with a predicted value includes the step of first training a predictive model with at least one output for a given set of inputs that exist in a finite dataset. Data is then input to the predictive model that is within the set of given inputs. Thereafter, a prediction is made of an output from the predictive model that corresponds to the given input such that a predicted output value will be obtained which will have associated therewith the errors of the predictive model.
