Moreover, for certain cases one gets a reverse bootstrapping, i.e., the residual correlates higher with the criterion than either the model of the man or the global judgment. With residual disease, the disease has not been eradicated. It is shown that the residual enters into achievement most prominently in situations where the model of man is poor. Medical Definition of Residual Medical Editor: Melissa Conrad Stöppler, MD Reviewed on Privacy & Trust Info Residual: Something left behind. Furthermore, psychological achievement is shown to be a weighted sum of the modelled and residual parts of judgment where the weight parameters are interpreted as “environmental complexity.” Two naturalistic studies are examined to investigate the residual contribution to achievement. The issue is shown to depend on the correlation of the residual and the criterion. The conditions where bootstrapping will work are delineated. That which remains of something after taking away a part of it as, the residue of an estate, which is what has not been particularly devised by will. Cue definition is shown to be related to the “bootstrapping” phenomenon. in the law of succession, the part of an estate left over after legacies and bequests have been met. The major question asked is whether the residual portion of judgment has functional value, i.e., does it add to the clinician's predictive efficiency. The part of judgment that cannot be modelled (i.e., the residual) is assumed to consist of cues not adequately defined and mis-specification of the integration function. The problem of cue definition leads to a consideration of the residual variance in modelling the judge.

A major problem in naturalistic studies is the defining of cues.
