1. Discourse which underestimates the degree of existing knowledge becomes boring; discourse which overestimates it becomes incomprehensible.

2. Neglia and colleagues2based their estimates of cumulative risks on Kaplan-Meier statistics, which commonly overestimates the true cumulative incidence.

3. Compared to the actual temperature rise since 1980, the average of 32 top climate models (the so-called CMIP5) overestimates it by 71-159% (see graph).

4. The mathematical model predicts that the uncorrected BMI formula underestimates body fat in unilateral Amputees and overestimates body fat in subjects with bilateral amputations at the same length of the legs

5. Cockcroft-Gault CrCl = [(140-age) x (Wt in kg) x (0.85 if female)] / (72 x Cr) Note: The original Cockroft-Gault Equation listed here provides an estimate of Creatinine clearance, but this original formula is not adjusted for body surface area and may be less accurate in obese patients.The Cockroft-Gault Equation typically overestimates Creatinine clearance by approximately 10 to 30%.
