A method for predicting a value for a length of a future time interval in which a physical variable changes is described, in which at least one measured value for the length of a past time interval and an instantaneously measured value for a length of an instantaneous time interval are taken into account, m values for lengths of past time intervals being added. A first value precedes the instantaneously measured value by k−1, and an mth value precedes the instantaneously measured value by k−m. The m added values are divided by a value for a length of a past time interval which precedes the instantaneously measured value by k. A ratio of the mentioned values is formed. For determining the value to be predicted, an average error is initially added to the instantaneously measured value, forming a sum. The formed ratio is subsequently applied to this sum.
