If only a large metropolitan area could offer all of the following: a reasonably healthy economy exceptional public education and high educational attainment elite music and art innumerable leisure activities remarkably affordable housing strikingly short commute times some of the safest weather conditions in the country near universal health care solid public transportation a culture of ingenuity an overall tradition of acceptance Believe it or not, such an area exists. The only catch is that popular perception actually makes the area seem undesirable. Rochesternomics provides data-driven insight to overcome popular perception and illustrate why Rochester, New York, is this hidden gem. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Amol Shrikhande was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and raised outside New Haven, Connecticut. He has spent large chunks of time in Boston, Massachusetts; St. Louis, Missouri; and New York City. In 2010, for no apparent reason, he convinced himself and his wife to move to a place where they knew absolutely nobody: Rochester, New York. In between trying to raise two children, he and his wife are both practicing physicians."

By utilizing a relatively unknown natural law of science, we are able to reveal the hidden pattern and divine structure of the Holy Scripture, which, by definition, proves its authenticity. This book is a unique defense of the Bible, and thus by extension that of Christianity, by providing a proof of the veracity of the Word of God in a scientific manner outside the Bible itself, which previously has not been accomplished. The author will demonstrate that the same true natural law of science, the Law of First Digits as described in chapters 2 and 3, when applied to the Holy Scriptures of the Bible, proves the presence of Gods unfathomable intelligence in creating and preserving the truthfulness of His Word. Moreover, this proof extends to the identification of God as the only true God of the universeto the exclusion of all others. That is a very powerful and controversial statement but one that can be backed up. If one proves the entirety of the Scripture as true, then it follows that the God referred to in those same Scriptures is and must be the one true God of the universe.

Mounting failures of replication in social and biological sciences give a new urgency to critically appraising proposed reforms. This book pulls back the cover on disagreements between experts charged with restoring integrity to science. It denies two pervasive views of the role of probability in inference: to assign degrees of belief, and to control error rates in a long run. If statistical consumers are unaware of assumptions behind rival evidence reforms, they can't scrutinize the consequences that affect them (in personalized medicine, psychology, etc.). The book sets sail with a simple tool: if little has been done to rule out flaws in inferring a claim, then it has not passed a severe test. Many methods advocated by data experts do not stand up to severe scrutiny and are in tension with successful strategies for blocking or accounting for cherry picking and selective reporting. Through a series of excursions and exhibits, the philosophy and history of inductive inference come alive. Philosophical tools are put to work to solve problems about science and pseudoscience, induction and falsification.
