Look again. I've shared many models in this thread, but if I interpret your statement correctly, then you are referring to the most recent data I've shared (posts 247 and 259). As anyone can see, those data show observations, not predictions. Your request to me does not seem relevant to the discussion in which we are engaged.


It's as if you've asked me, based on my reading of yesterday's stock ticker, to show where the ticker predicted today's market. It was never intended as a predictive tool, only to show to actual forcing attributions, and hence your request is not relevant.

Please enlighten me if I've misread your request for me to "confirm what fraction of the data was predicted."
