  1. \( \overline{e} \) model bias evaluated with the mean prediction errors, \( a\overline{e} \) model precision with the mean of the absolute value of the prediction errors, \( {\sigma^2}p \) prediction error variance, R 2 p modelling efficiency computed with the prediction errors
  2. aModel mismatch (e.g. the sum of squared of the residuals of prediction is greater than the total sum of squares)
