Fast and Frugal Trees (FFTs) are a quintessential family of simple heuristics that allow effective and efficient binary clas- sification decisions and often perform remarkably well when compared to more complex methods. This half-day tutorial will familiarize participants with examples of FFTs and elu- cidate the theoretical link between FFTs and signal detection theory (SDT). A range of presentations, practical exercises and interactive tools will enable participants to construct and eval- uate FFTs for different data sets.
