Does anyone want to make a small study group to read one of these books at a relatively slow pace?
Causality: Models, Reasoning and Inference
Probability Theory: The Logic of Science (Gelman has been recommended over Jaynes here I’m flexible but I’d rather read Jaynes)
Martin Peterson—An Introduction to Decision Theory
Anything else similar/LW relevant
I’ve been meaning to read these (which I learned about from LW) for a long time and just now have the time.
Causality looks like the best option: the entire first edition is freely avaiable on Pearls site here. There is an overview of 2nd ed. chapters here
Hello
I’ve been reading LW for a long time. At the moment I’d like to learn about decision making more rigorously as well as finding out how to make better decisions myself—and then actually doing that in real life.
I’m also very interested in algorithmic reasoning about and creation of computer programs but I know far too little about this.
