Noise: a Flaw in Human Judgment.
[…] Bias and noise — systematic deviation and random scatter — are different components of error. […] [Intro, p.4.]
[…] As any defence lawyer will tell you, judges have reputations […]. We refer to these deviations as level errors. (Again: error is defined as a deviation from the average; an error may in fact correct an injustice, if the average judge is wrong.) […] [Part II, chp. 6, pp.73f.]
Judges Differ: Pattern Noise […] judge × case interaction […] Pattern noise is pervasive. […] [Ibidem, pp.74f.]
System Noise² = Level Noise² + Pattern Noise² [Ibid., p.76.]
[…] Occasion Noise […] test-restest reliability, or reliability […] [Ibid., pp.81f.]

Scrum: the Art of Doing Twice the Work in Half the Time.
[…] the Agile Manifesto.
It declared the following values: people over processes; products that actually work over documenting what that product is supposed to do; collaborating with customers over negotiating with them; and responding to change over following a plan. Scrum is the framework I built to put those values into practice. There is no methodology.

[…] Without a command of probability theory and other instruments of risk management, engineers could never have designed the great bridges that span our widest rivers, homes would still be heated by fireplaces or parlour stoves, electric power utilities would not exist, polio would still be maiming children, no aeroplanes would fly, and space travel would be just a dream.* […]

* The scientist who developed the Saturn 5 rocket that launched the first Apollo mission to the moon put it this way: “You want a valve that doesn’t leak and you try everything possible to develop one. But the real world provides you with a leaky valve. You have to determine how much leaking you can tolerate.”
(Obituary of Arthur Rudolph, in The New York Times, 3 January, 1996.)
[…]
The word “risk” derives from the early Italian risicare, which means “to dare”. In this sense, risk is a choice rather than a fate. The actions we dare to take, which depend on how free we are to make choices, are what the story of risk is all about. And that story helps to define what it means to be a human being.

Legal procedure demands complete documentation of the actions of digital forensics analysts:
“[…] the material issue is, first and foremost, whether the steps of the forensic procedure exactly as they were actually carried out have been documented in the case file and disclosed to the defendant […]
