Forecasting is the process of making predictions based on past and present data. Any decision we make is based on a prediction what will happen. Here we study and discuss how to do that well.

Numeric predictions can be graded; they let you know when you’re wrong and how wrong you are. That’s exactly why they’re so scary to make.

Yet, you don't know how scary unless you actually make a bet.
