Numerous surveys among students have identified confidence to be a major predictor of verbal engagement, and uncertainty to foster avoidance and withdrawal (c.f., Rocca 2010).
Relatively new approaches include the estimation of both the bias and predictor uncertainty terms of prediction error, the construction of MMEs specifically designed to explore the uncertainty in model structure, the use of emulators for sensitivity analysis and the exploration of ways to reduce prediction uncertainty other than through model improvement.
Self-Oriented Perfectionism remained a significant predictor of worry after controlling for demographics and intolerance of uncertainty [ 9].
The sense of mastery was found to act as a mediator between uncertainty and anxiety, whereas uncertainty was a good predictor of boundary ambiguity.
These predictors provide recurrence risk scores along with a measure of uncertainty, usually a confidence interval.
Health care decision making typically involves problems marked by high levels of uncertainty around the relative importance of predictors of desired clinical outcomes.
Aside from the accuracy measures (validity), the reliabilities of the predictors were also determined using Shannon entropy as a measure of uncertainty.
Furthermore, students that are involved in clinical activities, such as interaction with patients, have feelings of uncertainty and increased responsibility, which are notable predictors of burnout [ 22].
Intolerance of uncertainty is associated with reliance on high technology and is a predictor of a non-primary care specialty choice [ 37, 38].
Not only is its value at admission as a predictor of outcome uncertain, there are also uncertainties surrounding its ability to categorize severity of disease, particularly in acute lung injury (ALI /ARDS [ 17, 18].
