  1. Stop testing, start thinking • Off-the-shelf tools • p-values •

    information criteria • linear models • Good decisions benefit from bespoke tools • bespoke risk analysis • bespoke models Bespoke Broke
  2. Blizzard calibration • Was it bad to predict NYC blizzard

    from ECMWF? • Other models were more accurate • But welfare enhanced by being prepared => use extreme forecasts • Accuracy always matters, but it isn’t all that matters

  4. Manatees and bombers • Conditioning: Dependence on state • Everything

    is conditional • On data • On model • On information state • Influence of variable conditional on other variable(s)
  5. Interaction effects • Interactions: Influence of predictor conditional on other

    predictor(s) • Influence of sugar in coffee depends on stirring • Influence of gene on phenotype depends on environment • Influence of skin color on cancer depends on latitude • Generalized linear models (GLMs): All predictors interact to some degree • Multilevel models: Massive interaction engines
  6. Interaction effects in DAGs • In DAG, interaction doesn’t look

    special: • This just means: • We have to figure out the function f. coffee sweet sugar stirred coffee sweet = f (sugar, stirred)

  31. Interactions not always linear • Suppose all tulip data collected

    under “cool” temperatures • Under “hot” temperature, tulips do not bloom • Interaction, but not a linear one • blooms goes to zero at threshold
  32. Higher order interactions • Just keep multiplying: Z J ∼

    /PSNBM(µ, σ) β →  γSJ|"J= ≈ −. + .() = . Z J ∼ /PSNBM(µJ, σ), µJ = α + β YJ + β YJ + β YJ + β YJ YJ + β YJ YJ + β YJ YJ + β YJ YJ YJ. main effects 2-way interactions 3-way interaction
  33. Higher order interactions • Dangers of high-order interactions • Hard

    to interpret: “The extent to which the effect of x1 depends upon the value of x2 depends upon the value of x3, dude.” • Hard to estimate: need lots of data, must regularize • But you might really need them, because conditionality runs deep The Dude abides high-order interactions
  34. Higher order interactions • data(Wines2012) • Judgment of Princeton, 2012

    • New Jersey wines vs fine French wines • Outcome variable: score • Predictors: • region (NJ/FR) • nationality of judge (USA/FR-BE) • flight (red/white)
  35. Higher order interactions • Predictors: region, nationality of judge, flight

    • Consider interactions: • Interaction of region and judge is bias. Bias depends upon flight. • Interaction of judge and flight is preference. Preference depends upon region. • Interaction of region and flight is comparative advantage. Advantage depends upon judge.
