In the inaugural column, Ron Wasserstein who is the executive director of the ASA and the column editor shares his “one thing.” Statistics does not magically get rid of all the uncertainty of life. But it helps us know how certain we reasonably can be.","PeriodicalId":88226,"journal":{"name":"Chance (New York, N.Y.)","volume":"27 1","pages":"37 - 38"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87056049","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In a binary decision there are always two kinds of errors that can be made – saying ‘yes’ when you should have said ‘no’ (a false positive) or saying ‘no’ when you should have said ‘yes’ (a false negative). Choosing a decision-making strategy by simply adding up the number of each of two kinds of errors is only sensible if the costs of each of the two errors are equal. This is rarely the case. The authors explore these ideas in the context of college admission and testing.","PeriodicalId":88226,"journal":{"name":"Chance (New York, N.Y.)","volume":"84 10 1","pages":"48 - 52"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87658928","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We are space travelers and, for the foreseeable future, Earth is our “mother ship.” To sustain our voyage through space, we need to look out for stressors, overheating and, particularly, new energy sources for our ship. We need to monitor its integrity, repair components that are broken, and establish long-term maintenance protocols. That is, mitigation is needed at scale, and we need to plan and action it now! We have scientific knowledge about different parts of the ship with differing degrees of certainty, but the message is clear that it is in peril from overheating. Unfortunately, there are many captains to report to, with different priorities. While they demur, deflect, and disagree, Earth is rapidly approaching a waypoint where mitigation will not be enough, and adaptation for a fast-changing climate will be part of our future.","PeriodicalId":88226,"journal":{"name":"Chance (New York, N.Y.)","volume":"1 1","pages":"9 - 13"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83877560","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
