2012 JMP Discovery Summit - as good as ever, thanks to the JMP staff led by Diane Levy. Speakers were great. Now learning about Predicitve Modeling - still reinventing myself per Willy Shih.
Willy Shih is unusual in that he teaches at the Harvard Business School yet is an engineer and not an accountant/MBA type. He is a dynamic speaker, and most importantly, he champions statistical thinking and especially Design of Experiments. His main theme is whether outsourcing hardware manufacturing, e.g. cameras, has a long term negative effect in future viability of other industries, e.g. film (Kodak). I wonder if the same thing is happening with airplanes (Boeing, Lockheed) and outsourcing of jet engines to China and Brazil.
