Webinar: Probability Assessment and Cognitive Bias: What Could Go Wrong?

Webinar Details

Date:  2024-10-30

Time:  11 a.m. EDT | 4 p.m. CET

At the core of any simulation model is a set of probabilities. Are they the right probabilities? Are they actually representative of the uncertainties you are facing? And how do you know?

In this talk, Tim Nieman will discuss some of the pitfalls in assessing probabilities, especially the ever-present cognitive biases, and how to minimize (but not eliminate!) these issues. The webinar will include some fun polls to test and potentially illuminate your own biases.
