Book Review of Super Crunchers by Ian Ayres

Roy Batchelor ()

Foresight: The International Journal of Applied Forecasting, 2008, issue 11, 4-5

Abstract: Batchelor writes, "Super Crunchers tells how simple statistical models applied to large data sets are increasingly being used to improve decision making in a wide range of business and professional applications. It highlights the fact that these models generally outperform the judgment of experienced and well-informed experts" in a wide variety of tasks. Ayres presents three circumstances under which such models can help improve decision making and offers several cases that support his argument well.
