John Elder’s Special Plenary Session a Highlight of Predictive Analytics World for Business in Las Vegas, May 31-June 4, 2020 is proud to announce a special plenary session by John Elder. Session Description: The three most important analytic innovations I’ve seen in (35 years of) extracting useful information from data are: Ensemble models, Target Shuffling, and Awareness of Cognitive Biases. Ensembles are competing models that combine to (very often) be more accurate than the best of their components. They seem to defy the Occam’s Razor tradeoff between complexity and accuracy, yet have led to a new understanding of simplicity. Target Shuffling is a resampling method that corrects for “p-hacking” or the “vast search effect” where spurious correlations are uncovered by modern methods’ ability to try millions of hypotheses. Target shuffling reveals the true significance of a model, accurately assessing its out-of-sample precision. Lastly, the increased understanding of our Cognitive Biases, and how deeply flawed our reasoning can be, reveals how projects can be doomed unless we seek out — and heed — constructive critique from outside.
Plan to join your professional colleagues for five information-packed days in Las Vegas, May 31 - June 4, 2020.
