Intuitive predictions of patient behavior often

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Intuitive predictions of patient behavior often fall short because they tend to ignore base rates (the general prevalence of an outcome), fail to consider regression effects (the statistical phenomenon where extreme scores tend to move toward the mean over time), and incorrectly assume that highly correlated predictors will yield higher validity, overlooking the complexities of causation and the potential for overfitting.
