by Scott E. Page
RM41.00 MYR

Harness data's power through diverse mathematical models.

If you're navigating the data-drenched landscape of our modern world, "The Model Thinker" could be your compass. Scott E. Page has crafted a guide that not only demystifies complex data sets but equips you with a plethora of models to make sense of the chaos. It's perfect for the aspiring data savant who wishes to harness the transformative potential of numbers in making informed decisions, crafting accurate predictions, and delivering powerful insights.

Description

Work with data like a pro using this guide that breaks down how to organize, apply, and most importantly, understand what you are analyzing in order to become a true data ninja. From the stock market to genomics laboratories, census figures to marketing email blasts, we are awash with data. But as anyone who has ever opened up a spreadsheet packed with seemingly infinite lines of data knows, numbers aren't enough; we need to know how to make those numbers talk. In The Model Thinker, social scientist Scott E. Page shows us the mathematical, statistical, and computational models—from linear regression to random walks and far beyond—that can turn anyone into a genius. At the core of the book is Page's "many-model paradigm," which shows the reader how to apply multiple models to organize the data, leading to wiser choices, more accurate predictions, and more robust designs. The Model Thinker provides a toolkit for business people, students, scientists, pollsters, and bloggers to make them better, clearer thinkers, able to leverage data and information to their advantage.
