“…They then show how to use relevance to form predictions, discussing how to measure confidence in predictions by considering the tradeoff between relevance and noise. Prediction Revisited applies this new perspective to evaluate the efficacy of prediction models across many fields and preview the extension of the authors' new statistical approach to machine learning. …”
