Prediction is very difficult, especially about the future.
-- Niels Bohr
Just happen to be reading both The Signal and The Noise by Nate Silver and The Only Three Questions That Still Count by Ken Fisher and find the overlap on statistics quite serendipitous.
From Baseball to Investing to Earthquakes and TED Talks, statistics can be used as an effective tool to uncover the elusive.
Nate Silver, Ken Fisher and Sebastian Wernicke all use the science of learning from data with great success. Nate Silver began his journey into data analysis as a young baseball fan. Ken Fisher wanted to find out what no other investors knew. And Sebastian Wernicke wanted the perfect TED Talk.
