Success rate prediction models have mainly focused on a single selection task.However, models for continuous movements are also important for interactive systems.We propose the Servo-Gaussian model to predict success rates in manual tracking tasks.Two studies were conducted to validate this model: one on path steering and the other on the pursuit of a 1D moving target.We hypothesized that (1) users' hand movements follow the servo-mechanism model, (2) submovement endpoints form a bivariate Gaussian distribution, thus enabling us to predict the success rate at which a submovement endpoint falls inside the tolerance, and (3) the success rate for a whole trial can be predicted if the number of submovements is known.Shuffle-split cross-validation with various sizes of training and test datasets showed R^2>0.92 and MAE<4.9% for steering and R^2>0.95 and MAE<6.5% for pursuit tasks.These results demonstrate that our proposed model delivers high prediction accuracy even for unknown (test) datasets.
