Dear Allstaters,
i'm looking for some references on a statement as follows:
"Humans are good at spotting trends and patterns in data, but they
are also good at spotting patterns where none really exist". This is not
verbatim but there must be some scholarly work on this. I can't
remember where I came across it - perhaps I dreamed it up? Help, anyone?
Best wishes
Paul
