Superforecasting
January 14, 2027
The human desire to divine the future is as old as the hills: Records from 4,000-year-old Sumerian bullae (clay balls) indicate that farmers used futures contracts to hedge crop production. In turn, this gave profit-minded traders a reason to develop forecasts for price and production. Today, forecasting permeates all corners of the modern business world, as Amazon.com stocks inventory to future demand, fintech firms predict whether prospective borrowers will default on a loan, and hospitals generate real-time estimates of when patients will be discharged for capacity planning purposes.
The aim of this course is to introduce students to the methods behind predictive analytics. The lectures will be interactive in nature and you will be required to work on in-class examples on your laptop. We will illustrate course concepts using the open-source statistical language R. R and the general programming language Python are the industry standards for data science, which you can use to acquire street cred with the tech crowd. Prior exposure to R is not required.
