Predicted vs Actual Plots

  • Predicted vs Actual Plot: Scatter of model predictions vs observed values
  • 45° line = perfect match of prediction and actual (very rare!)
  • Near line = predictions close to true values (high accuracy)
  • Far off line = larger errors, indicators performing less well
  • Can reveals patterns of bias: e.g. consistent under-prediction or over-prediction
