> a good use of the successful use of bootstrapping method is a formula devised by gustafson, tianen, and greist 1981 which predicts suicide attempts in psychiatric patients on the basis of variables that can be assessed in clnical interviews(such as the extent of suicide plans and degree of isolation from other people). The predictions are more accurate than those holistically by the judges.

making the #10ideas50years videos i think it was #7 that dealt with this stuff, but at the time i didn't internalize what it meant as deep as #thinkinganddeciding as going -- generally automating judgement *at all* by coming up with formulas that describe how the judgement actually works increases accuracy, and that it just isn't determining mentally ill/schizophrenic patients where 'judging' situations leads to inconsistent and just plain bad judgement
