Considering the future is fluid and always changing, the best they could do is predict probabilities based on past trends. It might be fairly accurate up to a point because humans tend to be creatures of routine and habit. However, that's not a hard and fast rule.
Isaac Asimov's "Foundation" series was based on the idea of being able to mathematically predict the future. Yeah, it worked, until the character The Mule came along. The model hadn't predicted a wild card-type character and that totally changed the path of the future.
