Theme： "Fooled by Randomness: Improving Decision Making With Limited Data" Bio： Abs Bios_James Gouveia.pdf Mr. Gouveia gave a very informative speech on evaluation of resource plays, especially shale gas. Exploiting a shale gas field is similar to rolling a die. Some wells perform good but some wells right next to the good ones can perform really bad, and all the drilling attempts seem independent of each other. Here, we consider a six-sided die. Its expectation is 3.5. However, if you try a Monte Carlo simulation on the process, ...
