Thought for the weekend
Grove, Zald, Lebow, Snitz and Nelson (2000), Clinical Versus Mechanical Prediction: A Meta-Analysis, University of Minnesota, Twin Cities Campus (pdf):
The process of making judgments and decisions requires a method for combining data. On average, mechanical-prediction techniques were about 10% more accurate than clinical predictions. Depending on the specific analysis, mechanical prediction substantially outperformed clinical prediction in 33%-47% of studies examined. Superiority for mechanical-prediction techniques was consistent, regardless of the judgment task, type of judges, judges’ amounts of experience, or the types of data being combined. These data indicate that mechanical predictions of human behaviors are equal or superior to clinical prediction methods for a wide range of circumstances.
Basically: Models beat experts.
