Prediction is a research area that focuses on using data and statistical methods to forecast or estimate future events, outcomes, or trends. Researchers in this area develop models and algorithms to analyze historical data and identify patterns that can be used to make informed predictions about future occurrences. Prediction research is widely used in various fields such as finance, weather forecasting, healthcare, and sports, among others. The goal of prediction research is to improve decision-making and planning based on probabilistic forecasts of future events.
