Book Description
Personal Prediction combines two astrological life cycles; the annual solar cycle of the Sun and the progression of the Solar Return chart's MC position between successive Solar Returns. The interworkings of these two cycles identify the twenty or more power days in each Solar Return annual period that mark the significant events that occur in our life. Personal Prediction illustrates the methodology of these cycles, their charting, and interpretation. Software is freely available to download and use to illustrate these cycles and key dates and to print the charts. Professional, home-based, research, writers and early-studies astrologers can quickly learn and apply this exciting and unique combination of established astrological components.

Secrets of Prediction

Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
In this book you will experience the life of astrologer Joni Patry as she grew up in a conservative realm of non-believers of astrology in Dallas, Texas. She was first introduced to the world of astrology through the profound prediction of Jeane Dixon as she forebodes President Kennedy not to come to Dallas, Texas, on November 21, 1963. The very next day the unthinkable occurred and it has been a part of Joni's awareness with her ties to the circumstances living in Dallas, Texas. This brought her to the discovery of astrology. The intricate and complicated world of astrological prediction has been Joni's passion. She has explored the depths of western astrology leading to her discovery of the incredible predictive value of Indian Vedic astrology. She takes the values of both systems and devises a way to blend both systems to understand the cycles to forecast the future. The first part of the book discusses her techniques for world predictions, including her prediction of Japan's catastrophic earthquake before it occurred March 11, 2011. There is an explanation of the grand cycles siphoning down to the smaller cycles for the specific timing of these events. There are cycles within cycles of the planetary patterns in the heavens. It ranges from the grand cycle of Precession of the Equinoxes, to the cycles of the outer planets, cycle of Saturn and Jupiter, Rahu and Ketu, eclipses, retrograde planets, and the cycles of the faster planets, Mars, Venus, and Mercury. But the most specific timer that predicts down to the day is seen through the Moon. The second part of the book breaks down the incredible predictive power of Vedic astrology using the nakshatras and how they determine the cycles of a person's life. This complicated system of prediction used in Vedic astrology is broken down to a step-by-step system that can be understood by even a novice. To bring home the predictive value and accuracy of this system, Joni explores the well-documented lives of the Kennedy family. Beginning with Joseph Kennedy Sr., through the trials and tribulations of the tragic deaths of his children to the traumas of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, John Kennedy Jr. and Caroline Kennedy. Through the scandals and affairs you will come to glean the insights of a soul through the prediction of astrology. From beginning to end of this compilation of essential tools for prediction, you will come to appreciate the power and insights of astrology. With this surfaces the sense of destiny and free will. Coming back full circle to November 1963 arises the age-old question concerning fate and free will. Could this be avoided with information ahead of time? What if President Kennedy listened to Jeane Dixon? This has haunted Dallas astrologer Joni Patry her entire life as she delved into understanding the cyclic process of humankind and the Universe through the profound study of astrology.

Clinical Prediction Models
Author: Ewout W. Steyerberg
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3030163997
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 574
Book Description
The second edition of this volume provides insight and practical illustrations on how modern statistical concepts and regression methods can be applied in medical prediction problems, including diagnostic and prognostic outcomes. Many advances have been made in statistical approaches towards outcome prediction, but a sensible strategy is needed for model development, validation, and updating, such that prediction models can better support medical practice. There is an increasing need for personalized evidence-based medicine that uses an individualized approach to medical decision-making. In this Big Data era, there is expanded access to large volumes of routinely collected data and an increased number of applications for prediction models, such as targeted early detection of disease and individualized approaches to diagnostic testing and treatment. Clinical Prediction Models presents a practical checklist that needs to be considered for development of a valid prediction model. Steps include preliminary considerations such as dealing with missing values; coding of predictors; selection of main effects and interactions for a multivariable model; estimation of model parameters with shrinkage methods and incorporation of external data; evaluation of performance and usefulness; internal validation; and presentation formatting. The text also addresses common issues that make prediction models suboptimal, such as small sample sizes, exaggerated claims, and poor generalizability. The text is primarily intended for clinical epidemiologists and biostatisticians. Including many case studies and publicly available R code and data sets, the book is also appropriate as a textbook for a graduate course on predictive modeling in diagnosis and prognosis. While practical in nature, the book also provides a philosophical perspective on data analysis in medicine that goes beyond predictive modeling. Updates to this new and expanded edition include: • A discussion of Big Data and its implications for the design of prediction models • Machine learning issues • More simulations with missing ‘y’ values • Extended discussion on between-cohort heterogeneity • Description of ShinyApp • Updated LASSO illustration • New case studies

Prediction, Learning, and Games
Author: Nicolo Cesa-Bianchi
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 113945482X
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 4
Book Description
This important text and reference for researchers and students in machine learning, game theory, statistics and information theory offers a comprehensive treatment of the problem of predicting individual sequences. Unlike standard statistical approaches to forecasting, prediction of individual sequences does not impose any probabilistic assumption on the data-generating mechanism. Yet, prediction algorithms can be constructed that work well for all possible sequences, in the sense that their performance is always nearly as good as the best forecasting strategy in a given reference class. The central theme is the model of prediction using expert advice, a general framework within which many related problems can be cast and discussed. Repeated game playing, adaptive data compression, sequential investment in the stock market, sequential pattern analysis, and several other problems are viewed as instances of the experts' framework and analyzed from a common nonstochastic standpoint that often reveals new and intriguing connections.

Microprediction
Author: Peter Cotton
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 0262371332
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 233
Book Description
How a web-scale network of autonomous micromanagers can challenge the AI revolution and combat the high cost of quantitative business optimization. The artificial intelligence (AI) revolution is leaving behind small businesses and organizations that cannot afford in-house teams of data scientists. In Microprediction, Peter Cotton examines the repeated quantitative tasks that drive business optimization from the perspectives of economics, statistics, decision making under uncertainty, and privacy concerns. He asks what things currently described as AI are not “microprediction,” whether microprediction is an individual or collective activity, and how we can produce and distribute high-quality microprediction at low cost. The world is missing a public utility, he concludes, while companies are missing an important strategic approach that would enable them to benefit—and also give back. In an engaging, colloquial style, Cotton argues that market-inspired “superminds” are likely to be very effective compared with other orchestration mechanisms in the domain of microprediction. He presents an ambitious yet practical alternative to the expensive “artisan” data science that currently drains money from firms. Challenging the machine learning revolution and exposing a contradiction at its heart, he offers engineers a new liberty: no longer reliant on quantitative experts, they are free to create intelligent applications using general-purpose application programming interfaces (APIs) and libraries. He describes work underway to encourage this approach, one that he says might someday prove to be as valuable to businesses—and society at large—as the internet.
