Accurate prediction: the percentage of subjects predicted by this predictive equation within 10% of the measured value

Underprediction: the percentage of subjects predicted by this predictive equation <10% of the measured value

Overprediction: the percentage of subjects predicted by this predictive equation > 10% of the measured value
