    Predicts output variables based on input variables according to a discovered scaling law.

    Functional form (shared across groups):

    Args:
        input_data: A list of dictionaries, where each dictionary is a single data
                    point containing input variable names as keys and their
                    corresponding values. Must include 'log_flops'.
        group: The name of the experimental group for which to make predictions.
               Same functional form for all groups; parameters differ per group.

    Returns:
        A list of dictionaries with the predicted 'brier_score' for each input.
