Sam L. Savage

Sam L. Savage is a Consulting Professor of Management Science and Engineering at Stanford University and a Fellow of the Judge Business School at the University of Cambridge.

He is known for his work in probability management and risk analysis.

Savage comes from a family with a strong background in statistics; his father, Leonard Jimmie Savage, was a pioneer in Bayesian statistics.

In his book, Savage builds upon his father's work, exploring how risk and uncertainties can be better understood and managed.

He advocates for the use of probability distributions and simulations in decision-making, challenging traditional approaches that rely heavily on averages.

Savage's work aims to make complex statistical concepts more accessible to business leaders and decision-makers.
