Prediction as extraction of discretion
نویسندگان
چکیده
I argue that prediction is not primarily a technological means for knowing future outcomes, but social model extracting and concentrating discretionary power. Prediction ‘relational grammar’ governs this allocation of discretion: the everyday ability to define one's situation. This extractive dynamic extends long historical pattern, in which new methods producing knowledge entail redistribution decision-making focus on two contemporary domains: (1) crime policing are emblematic how predictive systems by design, with pre-existing interests governing what measured persistently goes unmeasured. (2) The productivity demonstrates tradition discretion as extract labour Time after time, making human behaviour more predictable client (the manager, police officer) often life work unpredictable target employee, urban citizen).

Multivariate Feature Extraction for Prediction of Future Gene Expression Profile
Introduction: The features of a cell can be extracted from its gene expression profile. If the gene expression profiles of future descendant cells are predicted, the features of the future cells are also predicted. The objective of this study was to design an artificial neural network to predict gene expression profiles of descendant cells that will be generated by division/differentiation of h...

متن کاملAccounting Discretion
This study investigates the factors affecting acquirers’ allocation of purchase price between goodwill and identifiable intangible assets with finite lives. SFAS 142 replaces goodwill amortization with periodic impairment tests that are based on fair value estimates, while most identifiable intangible assets are still amortized over finite useful lives. As a result of the differential accountin...
متن کاملThe Illusion of Discretion
Discretion is the thesis that if one has sufficient evidence for p, it is epistemically permissible for one either to believe p or be agnostic on whether p. This paper argues that Discretion is not as obvious as many assume—indeed, that it is false. §1 observes that Discretion is not supported by the fact that we lack positive epistemic duties to take doxastic stances on propositions. §2 consid...
