How anyone can become a 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.
