<p>Fast and frugal trees allow you to make rapid decisions based on a few pieces of information. You can easily carry them out in your head. Surprisingly, the accuracy of these decisions rivals those made by gold-standard methods like logistic regression, especially when predicting out of sample.</p>
<p>Intrigued? Check out <a target="_blank" href="http://nathanieldphillips.com/2016/08/making-fast-good-decisions-with-the-fftrees-r-package/">this post by Nathaniel Phillips</a> and the new <a target="_blank" href="https://cran.rstudio.com/web/packages/FFTrees/index.html">R Package he’s created to create, visualize and test fast and frual trees</a>. For all you judgment and decision making researchers out there, Phillips will also be presenting the R package at the <a target="_blank" href="http://sjdm.org/">annual meeting of the Society for Judgment and Decision Making (SJDM) in Boston in November 2016</a>. If you know <a target="_blank" href="https://www.r-project.org/">R</a>, you could be building fast and frugal trees today!</p>
