SPSS Inc. (Nasdaq: SPSS), the leading global provider of
Predictive Analytics software and solutions, today announced its
2009 Directions User Conference agenda and keynote speakers.
Keynote presentations will be delivered by Richard Thaler, U.S.
economist and author of “Nudge:
Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth, and Happiness,”
and journalist and statistician Nate Silver, one of Time magazine’s
“100 Most Influential People” in 2009.
Directions is the premiere Predictive Analytics event for
business, government and academic organizations to see the latest
trends and best practices in Predictive Analytics, preview new
technologies, train with experts and attend hands-on workshops
about turning data into knowledge. Directions will be held Nov. 8 –
12, 2009, at Bally’s Hotel in Las Vegas.
Thaler is the Robert P. Gwinn Professor of Behavioral Science
and Economics and Director of the Center for Decision Research at
the University of Chicago's Graduate School of Business. He will
explain how recent research in behavior can be utilized to improve
decisions about health, wealth and happiness.
Silver has repeatedly produced uncannily accurate predictions on
his website FiveThirtyEight.com — from the performance of Major
League Baseball players to politics –- successfully predicting the
winner in 49 of 50 states in the 2008 U.S. presidential election.
He will share some of the lessons learned about turning mountains
of data into nuggets of gold and will address how to effectively
work with data to generate more accurate predictions.
