Discussion of "Prediction, Estimation, and Attribution" by Bradley Efron. (29th December 2020) - Friedman, Jerome
Summary: Professor Efron has presented us with a thought‐provoking paper on the relationship between prediction, estimation, and attribution in the modern era of data science. While we appreciate many of his arguments, we see more of a continuum between the old and new methodology, and the opportunity for both to improve through their synergy.
