The Prediction Model
The most common representation is
where is the predicted signal value, the previous observed values, and the predictor coefficients. The error generated by this estimate is
where is the true signal value.
These equations are valid for all types of (one-dimensional) linear prediction. The differences are found in the way the parameters are chosen.
For multi-dimensional signals the error metric is often defined as
where is a suitable chosen vector norm. Predictions such as are routinely used within Kalman filters and smoothers to estimate current and past signal values, respectively.

Famous quotes containing the words prediction and/or model:
“Recent studies that have investigated maternal satisfaction have found this to be a better prediction of mother-child interaction than work status alone. More important for the overall quality of interaction with their children than simply whether the mother works or not, these studies suggest, is how satisfied the mother is with her role as worker or homemaker. Satisfied women are consistently more warm, involved, playful, stimulating and effective with their children than unsatisfied women.”
—Alison Clarke-Stewart (20th century)
“The striking point about our model family is not simply the compete-compete, consume-consume style of life it urges us to follow.... The striking point, in the face of all the propaganda, is how few Americans actually live this way.”
—Louise Kapp Howe (b. 1934)
