    Probabilistic Thinking: Superforecasting and Outcome Distributions

    Miglior citazione da Probabilistic Thinking: Superforecasting and Outcome Distributions

    “

    High performers judge themselves by the quality of their decisions, not the results; they know that if they have a positive expected value process, the results will take care of themselves over the long run.

    ”

    Domanda di input

    Probabilistic Thinking Thinking in probabilities rather than certainties. Not “will this work” but “what are the odds this works and what does the distribution of outcomes look like.” Superforecasting is the book that builds this most directly.
