Nate Silver built an innovative system for predicting baseball performance, predicted the 2008 election within a hair's breadth. He solidified his standing as the nation's foremost political forecaster with his near perfect prediction of the 2012 election. Silver is the founder and editor in chief of FiveThirtyEight.com.
Drawing on his own groundbreaking work, Silver examines the world of prediction, investigating how we can distinguish a true signal from a universe of noisy data. Most predictions fail, often at great cost to society, because most of us have a poor understanding of probability and uncertainty. Both experts and laypeople mistake more confident predictions for more accurate ones. But overconfidence is often the reason for failure. If our appreciation of uncertainty improves, our predictions can get better too. This is the "prediction paradox": The more humility we have about our ability to make predictions, the more successful we can be in planning for the future.
In keeping with his own aim to seek truth from data, Silver visits the most successful forecasters in a range of areas, from hurricanes to baseball, from the poker table to the stock market, from Capitol Hill to the NBA. He explains and evaluates how these forecasters think and what bonds they share. What lies behind their success? Are they good-or just lucky? What patterns have they unraveled? And are their forecasts really right? He explores unanticipated commonalities and exposes unexpected juxtapositions. And sometimes, it is not so much how good a prediction is in an absolute sense that matters but how good it is relative to the competition. In other cases, prediction is still a very rudimentary-and dangerous-science.
Silver observes that the most accurate forecasters tend to have a superior command of probability, and they tend to be both humble and hardworking. They distinguish the predictable from the unpredictable, and they notice a thousand little details that lead them closer to the truth. Because of their appreciation of probability, they can distinguish the signal from the noise.Đặt sách ngoại văn The Signal And The Noise: Why Most Predictions Fail But Some Don'T Mua sách ngoại văn The Signal And The Noise: Why Most Predictions Fail But Some Don'T Đọc sách ngoại văn The Signal And The Noise: Why Most Predictions Fail But Some Don'T Sách tiếng Anh The Signal And The Noise: Why Most Predictions Fail But Some Don'T Tải về The Signal And The Noise: Why Most Predictions Fail But Some Don'T Review sách The Signal And The Noise: Why Most Predictions Fail But Some Don'T Review phim The Signal And The Noise: Why Most Predictions Fail But Some Don'T Đánh giá The Signal And The Noise: Why Most Predictions Fail But Some Don'T Mua The Signal And The Noise: Why Most Predictions Fail But Some Don'T giá rẻ The Signal And The Noise: Why Most Predictions Fail But Some Don'T Đánh giá The Signal And The Noise: Why Most Predictions Fail But Some Don'T Tác giả The Signal And The Noise: Why Most Predictions Fail But Some Don'T Tiki The Signal And The Noise: Why Most Predictions Fail But Some Don'T Fahasa The Signal And The Noise: Why Most Predictions Fail But Some Don'T Shopee The Signal And The Noise: Why Most Predictions Fail But Some Don'T Amazon The Signal And The Noise: Why Most Predictions Fail But Some Don'T Download PDF The Signal And The Noise: Why Most Predictions Fail But Some Don'T Download epub The Signal And The Noise: Why Most Predictions Fail But Some Don'T Ebook The Signal And The Noise: Why Most Predictions Fail But Some Don'T Tiếng Việt The Signal And The Noise: Why Most Predictions Fail But Some Don'T Sách ngoại văn The Signal And The Noise: Why Most Predictions Fail But Some Don'T Đọc sách Nate Silver Mua sách Nate Silver Review sách Nate Silver
We based our evaluation of book condition on the following criteria:
* New: Just like it sounds. A brand-new, unused, unread copy in perfect condition.
* Like New: An apparently unread copy in perfect condition. Dust cover is intact; pages are clean and are not marred by notes or folds of any kind.
* Very Good: A copy that has been read, but remains in excellent condition. Pages are intact and are not marred by notes or highlighting, but may contain a neat previous owner name. The spine remains undamaged.
* Good: A copy that has been read, but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact, and the cover is intact. The spine may show signs of wear. Pages can include limited notes and highlighting, and the copy can include "From the library of" labels or previous owner inscriptions.
* Acceptable: A readable copy. All pages are intact, and the cover is intact (the dust cover may be missing). Pages can include considerable notes--in pen or highlighter--but the notes cannot obscure the text.
