  • Super Crunchers: Why Thinking-by-Numbers Is the New Way to be Smart is a book written by Ian Ayres, a law professor at Yale Law School about how number analysis, such as multiple regression analysis affects all areas of life, often in unexpected ways. With examples from medicine, entertainment, wine-collecting, education, business, sports, and oenology, Ayers explains how statistical evidence can be used as a supplement or substitute for human intuition. Super crunching defines randomized testing, which allows the statistician to test a sample of a population and then combine the data with regression techniques to draw hidden conclusions about specific variables. Therefore, the random testing concept is now being globally applied to government policies and is being used more and more by large corporations and institutions to recalibrate business operations. The benefits and methods of using randomized testing are important to any researcher wanting to see what variables are affecting the population.
